IntakeQ and its PracticeQ practice management system, which includes best-in-class customizable intake forms and software for healthcare, today announced the launch of electronic medical prescribing (e-prescribing) within its PracticeQ platform for clinicians in the United States. The new feature is made possible through a direct integration with ScriptSure Cloud ERX (ScriptSure) on the Surescripts platform.

“Integrated solutions like e-prescribing help providers save time by enabling them to remain on a single familiar platform,” said Keith Pirkle, general manager of IntakeQ. “Our primary goal is to create a secure, integrated and affordable platform that any allied health or medical professional can use to help their practice succeed. This collaboration with an esteemed partner like ScriptSure affirms our commitment to elevating the standard of care through technology. Ultimately, alongside the clinicians we serve, we are elated to enable this integrated and enhanced capability that will do what matters most: deliver a seamless patient experience.”

Integrated prescribing provides several benefits including

Improved patient safety with a reduction in prescription errors and checks for medication interactions
Elimination of CMS e-prescribing penalties
Formulary compliance and reduced costs for patients
Single-click access to First Databank (FDB) and Prescriber’s Digital Reference (PDR) drug information
Saved time through direct integration in PracticeQ
Validated and error-free prescriptions, including controlled substances

Pirkle added, “Our customers help drive the direction of IntakeQ and PracticeQ’s continued evolution in relation to technology and partnerships. We never see our software as complete in an ever-changing healthcare landscape. Listening to our customers, advisory board and our employees is our north star and our inspiration for continued development and innovation.”

ScriptSure Cloud ERX is a 10-time winner of the Surescripts network White Coat Award, and most recently, the recipient of the 2022 Surescripts White Coat Award™ for highest accuracy of prescription transactions.

PRNewswire | August 10, 2023

DrFirst Healthcare Innovations announced today it is collaborating with MEDITECH to enable electronic prescribing by hospitals using the Expanse EHR in Canada. This integration supports MEDITECH's plans with Canada Health Infoway to connect with its national e-prescribing service, PrescribeIT®. E-prescribing has numerous benefits for physicians, pharmacies, and patients, including eliminating the need for faxing or calling-in prescriptions to pharmacies, avoiding transcription errors, reducing the potential for fraud, and saving time for patients who no longer need to drop off a written prescription at the pharmacy. DrFirst Healthcare Innovations is integrated with the MEDITECH Expanse EHR to provide the directory of community pharmacies and to meet the complex technical requirements for secure electronic prescribing through PrescribeIT®. "E-prescribing is safer for patients and more efficient for prescribers and pharmacists," said G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst Healthcare Innovations. "We have a long history of working with MEDITECH, and we are thrilled to collaborate on this initiative to introduce e-prescribing and accelerate its adoption in Canada to benefit patients, hospitals, and pharmacies." In May, MEDITECH announced that Humber River Health in Toronto, ON, will be MEDITECH's first hospital in Canada to implement PrescribeIT® within the Expanse EHR and is expected to go live with the technology this fall. "The introduction of e-prescribing in Canada is transformative. This integration with DrFirst Healthcare Innovations will further our collaboration with Canada Health Infoway and PrescribeIT® and ultimately provides safer and more efficient healthcare delivery, as well as greater convenience for patients," said Robert Molloy, MEDITECH Director, Canadian Market and Product Strategy. "The partnership between MEDITECH and DrFirst marks a significant step forward in PrescribeIT's mission to transform how prescriptions are sent and received," said Jamie Bruce, EVP, PrescribeIT®. "This collaboration will enhance patient care, streamline workflows, and empower healthcare professionals with a seamless and secure prescribing experience."
