SRSsoft Connects Physicians With Retail Pharmacies Across the Country
The Leader in Hybrid EMR Solutions Completes Surescripts(R) Certification for Routing of Prescription Renewals With Retail Pharmacies
| Source: SRSsoft
MONTVALE, NJ--(Marketwire - April 13, 2009) - SRSsoft,
the leader in hybrid EMR
solutions, announced today that it has completed additional certification
with Surescripts®, which operates the country's largest e-prescribing
network. SRS users will now be able to electronically and securely receive
prescription renewal requests from retail pharmacies in communities
throughout all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and electronically respond to
those requests.
The connection to Surescripts allows for electronic routing of prescription
renewal requests, which physicians can receive via their office computer
instead of their fax machine. Prescription renewal authorizations or
denials can then be electronically routed back to the pharmacy with just
two clicks of a computer mouse, thereby eliminating many of the faxes and
phone calls associated with the traditional refill process. New
prescriptions can also be electronically routed directly to pharmacy
computers before patients ever leave their physician's office.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported that more than 1.5 million
Americans are injured every year by medication errors. In the same report,
the IOM recommended that all prescriptions be written and received
electronically by the year 2010.
"SRS is dedicated to providing our hybrid EMR users with the best solutions
for their practices," says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. "With Surescripts
certification for the SRS hybrid EMR now in place, our client physicians
are assured of having the best in overall efficiency, safety, and quality
in the delivery of electronic prescriptions for their patients."
