Template-Free EMR Achieves E-Prescribing Certification

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- CANOGA PARK, CA – Feb. 10, 2011 – Today Praxis: the Template Free EMR was pleased to announce that it received certification to exchange prescription information with pharmacies through a connection to Surescripts®, The Nation’s E-Prescription Network. With Praxis v.5, users will be able to take advantage of the improved efficiency and patient safety that e-prescribing provides.

“We are pleased with our new Surescripts certification,” said Praxis CEO Richard Low, MD. “But, we are especially pleased with how we achieved it. Praxis focused on creating the most user-friendly e-prescribing functionality on the market. Most template-based systems require users to choose medications, dosages and frequencies each and every time. With Praxis EMR, the process is entirely automated.”

Praxis v.5’s e-prescribing feature puts doctors in control. Physicians write the prescription only once, and Praxis generates them automatically from then on.

With Surescripts certification, Praxis v.5 users will be able to electronically and securely exchange prescription information with pharmacies in communities throughout all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

The connection to Surescripts also allows for electronic routing of prescription refill requests, which physicians can receive via their office computer instead of their fax machine. Refill authorizations, or denials, can then be electronically communicated back to the pharmacy with just a few 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 routed directly to pharmacy computers before a patient ever leaves their physician’s office.
