CareEvolve.com, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioReference
Laboratories, Inc (NASDAQ: BRLI), and ZoomMed USA have announced an
agreement which will allow CareEvolve’s 30,000 provider users to access
e-prescribing using ZoomMed’s ZRx Prescriber service.
CareEvolve provides physician portals to clinical laboratories for use
by their provider clients for Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE),
electronic results storage, review and analytics. ZoomMed’s ZRx service
has been seamlessly integrated into the CareEvolve physician portal.
According to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
website: “A prescriber's ability to electronically send an accurate,
error-free and understandable prescription directly to a pharmacy from
the point-of-care is an important element in improving the quality of
patient care.”
ZoomMed’s ZRx Prescriber has been certified by SureScripts for
Prescription Routing, Prescription Benefits and Medication History. It
meets government requirements for CMS’s eRx Incentive Program.
Electronic prescribing improves patient safety by eliminating errors
from handwriting illegibility, wrong dosing, missed drug interactions or
drug/allergy reactions. It also saves providers' time by automating the
transfer of new prescriptions to pharmacies and approving renewal
requests.
