When You Need an e-Prescribing Tool

Satisfy the prescription writing needs of your current customers and attract new business with quality e-prescribing content and functionality from Gold Standard’s eMPOWERx patient care system. By offering our technology and tools along with your own, you save development time and reduce your operating costs, while adding immediate value to your applications. When you supply your customers with an e-prescribing tool, you ensure they benefit from informed decision-making before writing prescriptions, as well as optimal work-flow throughout their day, plus:

• Efficiency – Clinicians can instantly check each prescription electronically, as it is
  written, for problems such as drug interactions, allergies, duplicate therapies and formulary conflicts, without having to juggle patient files and reference materials beforehand. Time spent playing “telephone tag” and faxing to clarify and refill prescriptions is also minimized, affording more time for patient care.
• Safety – Eliminates potentially serious drug errors caused by misread handwritten
  prescriptions, and by medications with names that sound or look similar.
• Convenience – Physicians, pharmacists and their staff members can avoid tedious
  day-to-day tasks such as keeping track of prescription pads and faxes, pulling and re-filing patient charts, and dealing with excessive amounts of paperwork.
• Service – Patients can make fewer trips to the pharmacy, spend less time waiting for their prescriptions to be filled, and enjoy more counseling from those healthcare providers who take advantage of e-prescribing efficiencies.
• Savings – Healthcare providers save money on human resources by eliminating the excessive chart pulls, phone calls, faxes and paperwork that hamper staff productivity.
• Security – Because e-prescriptions travel directly from the prescriber to the pharmacy, there is less potential for fraud and abuse than with paper prescriptions.

Safeguarding the Electronic Prescribing Process

eMPOWERx is committed to ensuring fairness and safety throughout the electronic prescribing process, and has been recognized as a SureScripts Certified Solution™ accordingly. SureScripts, a private company, was founded by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and the National Community Pharmacists Association in 2001. SureScripts has created the largest electronic prescribing network in the nation, to link physician office applications and pharmacy management software. This network makes possible the secure electronic exchange of new prescription and renewal information between physicians and pharmacists.

Instead, SureScripts works with existing pharmacy and physician technology vendors to connect their solutions to the SureScripts network. Technology vendors must complete a comprehensive certification process to become a SureScripts Certified Solution Provider™. SureScripts establishes ground rules that safeguard the fairness of the prescribing process, including ensuring the patients choice of pharmacy, the physicians choice of therapy, and prescribing decisions based on best medical practices.
