CoxHealth has implemented Kryptiq's eSM to improve patient safety byensuring legible and credible communications between pharmacies and doctors,as well as eliminating manual data entry at the pharmacy to prevent avoidableerrors. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services,e-prescribing could reduce some 530,000 "adverse events" that occur annuallyin Medicare alone. eSM also improves office efficiency through a deepintegration with the GE Centricity(R) EMR, enabling the entire prescribingprocess to occur within existing EMR workflows.
"Kryptiq's solutions, from secure messaging to ePrescribing, have beensuccessful because of our understanding of physician and staff workflows,"said Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq. "eScriptMessenger is so easyto use and so well integrated into existing workflows that more GE CentricityEMR customers have implemented Kryptiq than any other ePrescribing solution."
