OmniMD EMR Receives SureScripts®’s Certification for Electronic Prescribing

CCHIT Certified OmniMD ™ , a developer of HIPAA compliant Internet-based enterprise healthcare , Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Practice Management solutions, is pleased to announce its certification by SureScripts®, operator of the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange™. SureScripts ® 's certification allows for interoperability with the nation's community pharmacies , which improves the safety and efficiency of the prescribing process and the quality of patient care. Physicians using Omni MD 's EMR application can now connect directly with local pharmacies connected to the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, operated by SureScripts ® .

Starting 2009, providers will be able to earn additional money from Medicare if they use electronic prescribing systems, U.S. health officials said Monday.

The bonus program, which will continue for four years, is designed to streamline the prescription process and cut down on errors. In 2009 and 2010, Medicare will give doctors an additional 2 percent bonus on top of their fee for "e-prescribing." In 2011 and 2012, the bonus will drop to 1 percent, and in 2013, the bonus will drop again to 0.5 percent, officials said.

"There are terrific human and financial costs to illegible prescriptions," Mike Leavitt, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said during a Monday afternoon teleconference.

According to the Institute of Medicine , 1.5 million Americans are injured every year by drug errors, Leavitt said. Another study found that each year pharmacists make more than 150 million phone calls to doctors to clarify what was written on the prescription, he added.

"We are dedicated to providing solutions that improve the efficiency of medical practices and the quality of patient care. Omni MD 's Prescription Writer already has a functionality to check for drug interactions, print patient medication sheets, create favorite prescriptions and check prescription coverage at the point of care. Surescripts ® electronic prescribing will certainly improve the efficiency, safety and overall quality of the prescribing process for our customers. “ said Divan Dave, CEO , Omni MD ™ .

This certification will allow providers to establish a two-way computer-to-computer connection with the majority of pharmacies in their area. Using this connection, providers can send prescriptions electronically to the patient's pharmacy of choice before the patient leaves the provider's office. Patients will no longer need to worry about losing paper prescriptions or pharmacies having to call offices to verify illegible prescriptions. When a patient needs a prescription refilled, a pharmacy will be able to send the request to the provider's office electronically, eliminating the need for time consuming phone calls and faxes. This will also reduce potential errors with prescriptions due to misread handwriting.

About SureScripts®

Founded by the pharmacy industry in 2001, SureScripts® operates the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange™, which facilitates the secure electronic transmission of prescription information between physicians and pharmacists . This also provides access to lifesaving information about patients during emergencies or routine care. Working collaboratively with health plans, health systems, technology vendors and health policy leaders, SureScripts ® is committed to improving the safety, efficiency, and quality of the prescribing process.

OmniMD is a high performance Pocket PC based and Internet enabled Electronic Medical Record System (EMRS), Medical Transcription, Document Management, Charge Capture and Scheduling solution. The system is HIPAA compliant and wireless capable. OmniMD reduces paperwork, streamlines practice workflow and leaves you with more time to provide better healthcare.

OmniMD, a New York based provider of HIPAA compliant healthcare practice solutions, has launched Practice Portal services for providers. The service will benefit physician and patient alike, by offering a two-way secure communication to enhance delivery of care.

Mr. Divan Da’ve, CEO - OmniMD says, “The aim to launch a Practice Portal is to bridge the gap between healthcare service providers and patients, by allowing physicians to offer high level of service and convenience to patients any time, anywhere through a secure medium. More than 60% of Americans use the internet as of source of health information – patient portals will prove to be a great tool for preventive healthcare.”


According to a recent Harris Interactive/Wall Street Journal survey, 74% percent of respondents said they would like the ability to communicate with their physician via e-mail, but only 4% of respondents currently use the technology. 62% of respondents stated that the ability to communicate via e-mail with their physician would impact their physician choice "to some extent" or "a great deal."

The portal allows patients to request for appointments, update or modify their records, obtain personalized medical information and view prescriptions. Portals are also being used refill and lab-tests requests; in addition to automated health alerts and patient-education through email.

By delivering information and services to patients across the continuum of care, a fully functional Patient Portal not only helps maintain a seamless communication flow with his doctor but also improves overall care team efficiency.

Practice portal can be integrated with the OmniMD Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Software to provide a set of pre-defined functionalities for registered patients. These functions not only empower the patient with information available anytime of the day, but also reduce workload on the practice / hospital staff. Many experts believe that Practice Portals or Patient Portals will soon be an integral communication channel between patient and provider. In addition to enhancing online community presence, many clinics having portals have reported savings in man-hours and administrative costs over a period of time.

With the introduction of fully functional Practice Portal services, OmniMD is one of the very few EMR vendors offering such a wide range of healthcare IT solutions and services – Integrated EMR and Practice Management Software, Patient Insurance Eligibility Check, Automated Patient Reminder, Medical Transcription services, Medical Billing System and Scanning and Indexing services.
