BCA Completes Surescripts® Certification

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- BCA (Business Computer Applications, Inc.), a leading provider of health information technology solutions, announced today that it has completed certification with Surescripts.

PEARL® EMR users will now be able to electronically and securely exchange prescriptions and prescription information with pharmacies in communities throughout all 50 states and Washington, DC.

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 the physician’s office.

“This certification reconfirms our ongoing commitment to provide physicians and healthcare organizations across the United States with a robust and comprehensive ePrescribing system within PEARL® EMR—our electronic medical record system,” says Albert Woodard, CEO and President of BCA.”  He concludes, “We are pleased to continue to offer our clients superior technology that enhances efficiencies, promotes cost savings, and strengthens their ability to serve patients.”
