Why Electronic Prescriptions ?
The paper prescription dates back in time at least 4000 years, when medical
text was carved on clay tablets. Although for the most part, the writing
of prescriptions on pre-printed prescription pads works and is easy
to use, it is very elementary and is incapable of taking advantage of
significant technological advances available today, especially with
the emergence of the Internet as the leading communications medium.
Welcome to RxRite® - the electronic prescription solution that facilitates
complete clarity over prescriptions, provides peace-of-mind that medications
are covered, and reduces the frustration often associated with the prescription
filling process. RxRite will change forever the way a prescription is
"written" and communicated to a pharmacy for dispensing.
RxRite is a uniquely positioned, private company that targets the electronic
prescription market. The company has developed a secure wireless and
Internet-based prescription service that connects physicians, pharmacists,
payers, and patients through its secure application gateway, which enables
the secure creation, transmittal, and processing of electronic prescriptions.
RxRite has also developed a proprietary "thin application" RxRite Wireless™
that resides on the new "always on", "always connected" Research In
Motion® (RIM®) BlackBerry® handhelds. The company also plans to
offer RxRite Wireless™ on other handheld devices in the near future.
Our Development
RxRite was founded on the belief that enhanced patient care and better healthcare
decisions can result from providing health professionals with access
to accurate and current patient information. In addition to representing
an "electronic pipeline" for handling electronic prescription transactions
between prescribers and providers, RxRite is designed as a single point
of access to an integrated system, which maintains a comprehensive electronic
prescription history for each patient across multiple prescribers.
How it Works
The RxRite solution is fast, effective, and wireless. A physician creates
a prescription at the point of care - office, emergency room, community
clinic, or remote setting. Using the RxRite application, the physician
can access a drug database, patient information such as allergies, adverse
drug reactions or conflicting medications and formulary coverage on
specific medications covered by the patient's drug plan. Other relevant
information, alerts the physician to special needs should the patient
be unable to remember or communicate. Information is transmitted through
RxRite's gateway to the patient's pharmacy of choice and is secured
using state-of-the-art 128-bit encryption. A digital certificate is
required to authenticate the prescriber as the registered user of the
application. When the pharmacist fills the prescription, RxRite can
provide immediate confirmation to the physician, allowing for a new
level of enhanced patient care.
RxRite's secure system provides a comprehensive solution for health care providers
and their patients that can:
- reduce possible confusion relating to hand-written and verbal messages
(sound-alike drugs),
- reduce dispensing errors and delays at the pharmacy,
- increase patient confidence and confidentiality, and
- reduce time spent on phone calls between pharmacists' and physicians'
offices.
RxRite
is an integral part of the new electronic health information highway.
We are now engaging leading physician and pharmacy technology vendors
along with third-party claims management organizations and insurance
providers to further realize upon the benefits of an integrated health
system.
Patients will soon ask their physicians if they are "writing" their prescriptions
using RxRite.
