LighthouseMD to Underwrite Cost of ePrescribing Technology for Rhode Island's Physician Practices in 2007
Posted on: Monday, 8 January 2007, 09:01 CST
LighthouseMD, a leading provider of revenue cycle management, practice management and clinical workflow solutions for medical groups, today announced that it will underwrite the cost of the ePrescribing for physician practices throughout Rhode Island in 2007.
The ePrescribing underwriting initiative follows Rhode Island Gov. Donald L. Carcieri's allotment of $20 million to create a secure health care information exchange network, linking physician practices to pharmacies. In this network, electronic health records (EHRs) are shared, allowing for safer, faster prescription fulfillment for patients. The network is part of a sweeping reform agenda passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor earlier this year.
"In response to Gov. Carcieri's innovative health care reform agenda, LighthouseMD is proud to offer a partial subsidy of our CareTracker solution throughout 2007," said Stephen Tortolani, president of LighthouseMD. "We are committed to improving the safety and overall quality of care for Rhode Island patients by supporting the health information exchange network."
LighthouseMD's CareTracker integrated practice management and EMR system utilizes a Web-based architecture to keep track of billing, collections, practice management and clinical workflow. A key component of LighthouseMD's CareTracker system, ePrescribing allows physician practices to receive renewal requests and transmit new prescription and refill authorizations directly to a pharmacist's computer.
