Arlington, VA (PRWEB) February 20, 2004 -
–MobiHealth, Inc., a healthcare technology solutions provider offering healthcare organizations and practitioners a suite of mobile applications to enhance healthcare delivery at the point-of-care, signed a strategic partnership with RxHub to provide clients with an electronic prescribing capability and easy access to relevant clinical patient information.
“We are very pleased to announce our partnership with RxHub,” said Gene Poole, MobiHealth’s director of sales and marketing. “The partnership between MobiHealth and RxHub is a positive step to reduce medication errors and ensure patient safety.”
At the core of the new mobile solution is MobiHealthÂ’s m-Health suite of products which is designed to empower healthcare practitioners with the latest technology to streamline operations, reduce cost and comply with regulatory requirements. MobiHealthÂ’s m-Rx application eliminates the need for time consuming activities by placing an intuitive prescription writer and Prescription Drug Reference in the physicianÂ’s hand. Physicians can prescribe and electronically route, fax and print prescriptions directly from the exam room. Combined with RxHubÂ’s applications, the m-Health suite will electronically deliver patient-specific drug benefit information to physicians, so that the prescriber can quickly and easily create a formulary-complaint prescription and transfer that prescription directly from the prescriber to the pharmacy of the patientÂ’s choice.
“The momentum in the marketplace is clearly accelerating” stated Jim Bradley, CEO RxHub. “Patient safety with medication error reduction has become a national focus. We are proud to be partnering with technology companies that will provide physicians access to real-time patient information, thus moving this national agenda forward.”
