ATLANTA, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NDCHealth Corporation
(NYSE:NDC), a leading provider of healthcare technology and
information solutions and InstantDx, L.L.C., a pioneer in
electronic prescribing (e-prescribing), today announced their joint
initiative to disseminate the next generation of e-prescribing
services to physician practices nationwide. NDCHealth, makers of
the physician practice management solutions Medisoft, Lytec(R) and
Concept(R), which are used by over 100,000 physicians in the United
States, and InstantDx, developers of the e-prescribing system
OnCallData(TM), NDCHealth's exclusive provider of e-prescribing
solutions for NDCHealth's physician practice management systems,
are now offering healthcare providers a new e-prescribing service,
the OnCallData System, integrated directly into the Medisoft, Lytec
and Concept solutions. E-prescribing has been shown to
significantly reduce healthcare costs by decreasing errors and
identifying drug interactions, integrated systems such as
OnCallData remain the key to successful e-prescribing adoption by
physician practices. Because "stand-alone" systems do not interface
with physician practices' administrative software, they typically
result in a disruption to physician workflow. With the OnCallData
System, healthcare providers get an e-prescribing module already
integrated with their practice management system. The integration
provides a single sign-on enabling a physician or their staff to
access OnCallData without the inconvenience of logging out of one
system and onto another. Patient demographic data automatically
populates the e-prescribing application, saving key strokes and
eliminating potential typographical errors. With the national push
toward regional health networks (RHIOs), the new OnCallData System
offers interoperability, especially for the hard-to-reach
one-to-two doctor practices which represent NDCHealth's unique
market presence. "Real-time, single sign-on integration between the
physician's practice management system and the e-prescribing system
is an essential, yet all-too- often missing ingredient necessary to
accelerate the adoption of e- prescribing," said Dr. Allan M.
Weinstein, Chairman and CEO of InstantDx. "InstantDx is pleased
that our long-standing partnership with NDCHealth continues to help
physicians and their staffs enhance patient safety, while realizing
the time and cost-saving benefits of an all-in-one e-prescribing
system." The OnCallData System also differs from other
e-prescribing systems in that it allows for real-time
e-prescribing, rather than "batching." With real- time
e-prescribing, physicians can check drug and allergy interactions,
patient eligibility, medication history and even formularies right
at the point of care. The greatest advantage of real-time
e-prescribing comes from the time savings it offers busy doctors
and their staffs. Real-time connectivity also allows bidirectional
electronic communication between providers and the patient's
pharmacy, greatly reducing time-consuming phone calls and faxes
associated with clarifying new prescriptions and authorizing
refills. "We continue to be very enthusiastic about e-prescribing,
and its potential to greatly improve patient safety and reduce
cost," said Walter Hoff, Chairman and CEO of NDCHealth. "Our
relationship with OnCallData provides our Medisoft, Lytec, and
Concept customers with an integrated solution for this very
important functionality. Our unique footprint in the
harder-to-reach, smaller doctor practices positions us well with
the OnCallData System to accelerate the pace of connectivity with
RHIOs, hospitals, health plans and pharmacies nationwide." About
