EncounterPRO Healthcare Resources Becomes a SureScripts Certified Solution Provider

(March 12, 2008)--WiFiMed Holdings Company, provider of physician workflow solutions said EncounterPRO Healthcare Resources, has successfully completed the comprehensive testing and certification process for SureScripts certification and is now a SureScripts Certified Solution Provider.

As a SureScripts Certified Solution Provider, EncounterPRO's physician clients who utilize the EncounterPRO EHR product can now connect to the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, operated by SureScripts. The Pharmacy Health Information Exchange allows physicians and pharmacists to electronically exchange prescription information and electronically transmit new prescriptions and refill requests during routine and emergency care.

"We are very pleased to have become a SureScripts Certified Solution Provider," said Greg Vacca, Chief Executive Officer of WiFiMed Holdings. "The unique workflow engine of EncounterPRO EHR will help set it apart from any other product in the market as it will take e-prescribing to a new level of convenience for both physicians and patients. SureScripts certification enables EncounterPRO physicians and users to send new prescriptions to a patient's pharmacy, receive renewal requests back, and send renewal approvals directly from within EncounterPRO EHR, making the prescription process much safer and more efficient. I am proud of the outstanding efforts of our development staff in this achievement."

EncounterPRO's e-prescribing module replaces antiquated and error-prone methods for prescribing. With more than 95 percent of all pharmacies in the US being certified on the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange and approximately two-thirds processing prescriptions electronically, the risk of medication errors associated with poor handwriting, illegible faxes, similar named drugs, and manual data entry is greatly reduced through the e-prescribing feature of the EncounterPRO EHR 5.0.

The EncounterPRO EHR gives physicians and staff the most flexible and sophisticated workflow engine available in an EHR. This premier software requires virtually no level of computer literacy and works off touch screens, PC Tablets or a mouse as the primary means of data input. Both products have been designed to meet the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements and are designed to reduce medical errors, documentation time, overhead, and time spent filing insurance claims.
