eMedicalFusion launches eRx Connect, a secure web-based prescribing application that connects prescribers, compounding pharmacies and patients in an network that optimizes the entire prescribing and refilling process for compound medications

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

eMedicalFusion, LLC, with headquarters in St. Louis, MO and technology leadership in the Virginia technology corridor in Tysons Corner, VA unveils eRx Connect, the platform that connects prescribers, compounding pharmacies and patients with next generation technology that saves time and increases accuracy and optimizes the business process for all participants. eRx Connect provides the following key benefits:

• Prescribers get instant access to the pharmacy’s entire formulary – avoiding the painful task of creating and managing compound formulary entries in traditional EMR/EHR’s. This increases accuracy and saves time for prescribers

• Patients get an easy to read view of their medications and instructions and one click access to pharmacy refills and prescriber refill authorization requests

• Pharmacies using the Compounder Rx by PCCA get the benefit of prescriptions that automatically populate into the pharmacy’s compound management system for greater efficiency and accuracy

Talking about the new eRx Connect platform, Andre Etherly CEO and Chief Technology Officer says, “We have been studying the challenges of prescribing medications from all angles for nearly two years. This module is designed to optimize the entire business process for prescribers, pharmacies and patients and we are very excited to see this part of our vision come to fruition. ” Etherly also says that he is pleased with the initial responses from prescribers and pharmacies as the interest from pharmacies and prescribers has been building over the last few weeks by “word of mouth” as we began talking about the new module as it went into final development and testing in January of this year.

“Since the founding of the company, Integrating and enabling practitioners, pharmacies and patients has been part of the vision and “fabric” of eMedicalFusion, but nothing to date has had the impact that this module will ultimately have given the important role of compounded medications for our target market”, says Diana Baumohl, Vice President. We have made a significant investment into the module and we are confident that is the right investment at the right time for this market.

eRx Connect is different from the major pharmacy networks in that eRx Connect provides a direct connection with compounding pharmacies and this feature allows the prescriber to directly use the pharmacy’s formulary, avoiding the tedious task of creating formulary entries in a traditional e-prescribing tool, thereby saving time and ensuring precise communication with pharmacies. For pharmacies that do not use the Compounder Rx by PCCA, eRx Connect can still deliver prescriptions to them by secure fax. And while the system is optimized for compound medications, the system contains a standard drug database and a listing of over 75,000 pharmacies nationwide for prescribing standard medications from regular retail pharmacies.

Today’s initial release of eRx Connect extends the eMedicalFusion promise of “just add the doctor”, says Etherly. eMedicalFusion’s vision has always been to provide the complete solution for doctors operating in one of the cash/concierge revenue models regardless of their particular specialty. Some are Antiaging or Age Management physicians, some specialize in Functional Medicine, some characterize their practice as “Integrative” and yet others are Family Practitioners that have decided to opt out of insurance in order to regain control of how they treat patients. There is a growing number of doctors opting out of insurance and eMedicalFusion provides the complete solution whether the practice is new/emerging, well established or a large complex practice consisting of multiple physicians and multiple locations.

The application is delivered through a secure web-based platform that alleviates the need for practices to purchase servers and hire IT staff. The solutions incorporate components of conventional Practice Management but add a powerful integration engine that integrates multiple applications to create the specific functionality needed by cash, concierge and hybrid practices. Self-service features including ePatient Portal, online scheduling, shopping cart, secure messaging and workflow enablement are the underlying capabilities that drives back-office efficiency and patient satisfaction.

eMedicalFusion, LLC launches “eIntegrationSuite” — Enabling technology for cash-based medical practices. The web-based application integrates Practice Management with multiple self-service applications to drive efficiencies and patient satisfaction.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) Feb 08, 2010 eMedicalFusion, LLC announces the broad availability of the “eIntegrationSuite”, its next generation suite of 100% web-based applications designed to enable the “New Physician Enterprise” to operate with corporate-life efficiency in the back office. Andre Etherly, Founder and Chief Technology Officer uses the term “New Physician Enterprise” to refer to the new breed of cash-based medical practices that practice highly individualized medicine, typically focused on areas such as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), Anti-Aging Medical Therapies and Functional Medicine. The application suite integrates a new breed of Practice Management applications with multiple self-service applications that cash practices need to deliver high levels of patient satisfaction while keeping administrative costs low.

Etherly is a seasoned IT Executive that has been involved in the design, development and implementation of leading-edge information technology for more than 15 years. Today, Mr. Etherly is the visionary force behind the products and solutions that eMedicalFusion develops. “Due to my affiliation and role as Chief Strategy Officer with a very successful practice, Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC, (www.proactivewellness.com), I saw first hand the unmet needs of cash-based medical practices. After determining that the currently marketed Practice Management Systems didn’t align with the needs of cash practices, I went to work to design and build solutions that would enable cash-based practices to achieve a high level of efficiency and patient satisfaction. ” The result is the eIntegrationSuite and the related products. This suite of applications represents the fusion of technology and highly optimized, innovative business processes.

From a technology perspective, the eIntegrationSuite provides the glue to integrate the core eMedicalFusion applications with multiple 3rd party commercially available applications. This approach creates a single enterprise solution using the eMedicalFusion “smart integration” approach, enabled by the latest in .NET, XML and HL7 technologies all offered as a hosted solution, dubbed “Software as a Service” (SaaS). Actually with the built in integration engine, this application combines a SaaS offering with Integration as a Service (IaaS). This approach combined with our utilization of 3rd party SaaS components renders a low-cost, easy to use and implement solution that will grow and scale as the practice grows, and has been proven to drive significant administrative efficiencies as well.

The eIntegrationSuite actually includes multiple discrete applications including the eIntegrationHub, the Patient Management Database (PMD), the eVendorPortal and the ePatientPortal. The core of the solution is the PMD and eIntegrationHub. The PMD is the master database for all prospective patients, leads and patients. It is the “system of record” for all demographic data, provides significant functionality to help manage patient workflow and access to external systems, and provides significant search capabilities. The eIntegrationHub integrates multiple 3rd party web-based applications that are needed to run the enterprise. It provides connectors that propagates and synchronizes the patient demographic data across all of the 3rd party applications including the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system, a financial management system, an internet shopping cart, a true self service appointment scheduling system and a system to handle marketing and communications with current and prospective patients.

The eVendorPortal includes 3dCart, one of the leading internet-based shopping carts, delivers an “Amazon-like” shopping experience for patients. The integrated system includes an order management system for multiple dropshippers with real-time integration with 3dCart. The order management component provides a secure web-based application for vendors and dropshippers to receive orders, update order status and shipping information. As this occurs, 3dCart is updated in real time and patients receive real time configurable emails updating them on status.

The ePatientPortal provides numerous self-service capabilities to patients delivered via a secure web site that allows patients to create and update their demographic profile, schedule appointments, access the shopping cart, pay for visits and fixed-duration retainer programs, view and print their financial transactions with the practice, change passwords across all applications with a single entry, complete intake forms and link components of their clinical file with their own personal health record via Google Health and Microsoft Health Vault.

Together, these applications enable the New Physician Enterprise to achieve significant back office efficiencies while delivering a high level of service to today’s tech savvy patients. “The market receptiveness to the offering has been outstanding”, said Etherly, as the firm has had already had several clients subscribe to the eIntegrationSuite and they are all presently in the final stages of configuration and will go live shortly.

Adding to the momentum, eMedicalFusion has signed its first Reseller, David Nico, PhD, CWC, principal of Nico Ventures. Nico Ventures began using the eVendorPortal solution for its wellness store (http://store.davidnico.com) that focuses on health optimization in December of 2009. “I am very excited and pleased to be both a customer and a Reseller of this technology”, said David Nico. “My patients will benefit from the ease of using this technology to order products and services and I am confident that other health care practitioners will see the benefits as well”. Nico has already had success as a reseller as his first prospect recently purchased the eIntegrationSuite and will soon be realizing the benefits of this technoloyg. Nico is continuing to have conversations with health care practitioners and is finding a warm reception to the discussion.

eMedicalFusion, LLC is a Virgina Limited Liability Company that provides practical, easy to implement technology solutions targeted at cash-based medical practices. eMedicalFusion solutions are based on the fusion of technology and innovative business processes enabled by deep domain knowledge of personalized medicine and cash-based medical practices. The solutions incorporate components of conventional Practice Management for cash-practices but add a powerful integration engine that integrates multiple best-of-breed SaaS applications to create an integrated capability for cash practices. Self-service and workflow enablement are the underlying capabilities that drives back-office efficiency and the eMedicalFusion technology drives both.

eMedicalFusion, LLC adds Secure Online Intake, Dashboard and Secure Messaging to its secure online Next Generation Practice Management System that is targeted at cash, hybrid, concierge and integrative medical practices

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) Dec 01, 2010 eMedicalFusion, LLC extends its already rich functionality set with multiple recent releases that strengthen its next generation offering and continues to add value to the New Physician Enterprise clients that it serves. Further, the firm will be exhibiting at the 18th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging and Regenerative Biomedical Technologies in Las Vegas from December 9, 2010 December 11, 2010. This is a premiere show that attracts over 3,000 medical professionals from around the world and eMedicalFusion will be present in booth #844 as an expansion of its marketing efforts.

One of the key principles behind eMedicalFusion is “Self Service”. We didn’t invent the trend, but online banking, amazon.com, expedia.com and ticketmaster.com are proof of the power and profitability of self service. “Now, eMedicalFusion brings the power and benefits of self service to medical practices”, says Andre Etherly, Founder and Chief Technology Officer. Self Service is profitable because it lowers your staffing requirements, allows clinical staff to spend more time helping patients achieve their health goals and less time doing administrative work. Self service also increases patient satisfaction and importantly, the perception of the practice. It allows the practice to add new revenue streams quickly and profitably.

At the beginning of this year, eMedicalFusion announced the commercial availability of its next generation Practice Management software and the year 2010 has been very successful, says Etherly. Our Practice Management system has helped numerous practices become more efficient and profitable, and at the same time increase patient satisfaction. The following quote is from Longevity Wellness Centers, LLC of Chantilly, VA. (www.longevitywellness.net), one of the more recent practices to implement eMedicalFusion. “Thanks and I have gotten so MUCH positive feedback from my patients! They love this system! God Bless you and your team for coming up with this and I LOVE my new website! “, says Patricia Pettit, DO, MPH, Founder and Medical Director for Longevity. eMedicalFusion implemented the entire suite, migrated data from multiple legacy systems and built a new website in 30 days.

Secure online intake, configurable dashboard and secure messaging are three of the newest and hottest features that have been added to eMedicalFusion Practice Management over the past 90 days. Practices are seeing very high adoption rates for the new features with utilization approaching 90% for secure online intake and secure messaging. An adoption rate this high so quickly validates the “pent up” demand for this technology, says Etherly. Patients see it every place else, and finally it is available in medical practices. The dashboard provides a graphical view of the intake process and the health of the business as viewed through graphical depictions of appointment and patient acquisition metrics. Business use dashboards and business analytics to gain visibility into the health of businesses of all types and now medical practices have a similar tool.

Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC (http://www.proactivwellnesscenters.com) was the original beta test site for eMedicalFusion so it has seen the product from its infancy to its current state, and it has seen firsthand the enormous efficiency gains from secure online intake and many of the other time saving features. And secure messaging was just rolled out weeks ago and has already achieved a 90% adoption level with patients preferring to use it over standard email. “Without eMedicalFusion, I would need to double my staff to handle my present patient load and even then we would not be able to achieve many of the benefits of the integrated technology from eMedicalFusion, says Lynese Lawson, DO, Founder and Medical Director for Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC of Vienna, VA. And I am very pleased with the secure messaging feature not only because of the security, but because of the fact that the patient requests now come into queues that can be much more effectively managed by staff and myself when compared to standard emails and phone calls.
