ePhysician(tm), the e-health company that puts handheld technology into physicians' hands to improve patient care, today became commercially available as the first Internet service to allow physicians to wirelessly send prescriptions from any location from the Palm to the pharmacy. A physician can go to www.ePhysician.com today, subscribe to the service and become an ePhysician.
The first 10,000 physicians who subscribe to the ePhysician service will receive a free Palm handheld computer. This revolutionary technology is transforming the way healthcare professionals interact with their patients. The ePhysician service, designed by physicians for physicians, helps reduce medical errors, guarantees secure transactions and saves patients' time at the pharmacy. Physicians who sign up to become ePhysicians are at the cutting edge of the most advanced e-health service in the country.
"This technology is going to transform the way doctors practice medicine and improve the quality of care that they deliver," said Stuart Weisman, M.D., founder and CEO of ePhysician. "We are the first company to make commercially available an Internet-enabled wireless Palm handheld device for physicians that sends prescriptions from any location directly to the pharmacy."
ePhysician allows healthcare professionals to prescribe medication, schedule patients and view allergy and formulary insurance information at the point of care through the use of a secure, wireless Palm handheld computer and the Internet. ePhysician's robust back-end and encryption capabilities help guarantee patient security.
The commercial availability comes on the heels of ePhysician successfully sending more than 16,000 electronic prescriptions through its Internet server and installing its e-health service in more than 200 doctors' offices throughout the United States. In addition, ePhysician recently signed an agreement with PlanetRx.com, which will allow physicians to instantly transmit patients' prescriptions to the PlanetRx.com pharmacy. ePhysician's concern for patient confidentiality and secure transactions over the Internet led to its recent partnership with a leading digital certificate and security provider, VeriSign.
"We are already seeing an improvement in how the medical profession exchanges patient, pharmaceutical, clinical information and more," Weisman said. "Physicians are rapidly embracing ePhysician's technology, making it easy for them to engage in secure, wireless medical transactions anytime and anywhere."
