Woodbridge, New Jersey- based medical informatics company, iPatientCare, Inc. has reportedly signed a partnership deal with PDR Network, a distributor of FDA-approved patient drug safety and support services for EHR and e-Rx platforms through the Physicians’ Desk Reference suite of digital and print services.
The partnership with PDR will enable the company to incorporate PDR Network services into the iPatientCare electronic health record (EHR) platform for increased drug safety and better decision making.
iPatientCare’s mHealth and cloud-based unified product suite include Electronic Health/Medical Record and integrated Practice Management/Billing System, Patient Portal/PHR, Health Information Exchange (HIE), and mobile point-of-care solutions that serve the ambulatory, acute/sub acute, emergency and home health market segments.
PDR Network’s innovative products deliver industry-leading content to prescribers and patients across channels, including through its growing "PDR Certified" EHR vendor network.
Through the partnership with PDR, iPatientCare the physicians will have access to PDR Network’s updated drug information, safety alerts, medication adherence and product support programs. Armed with the full legally mandated information, physicians will feel more confident as they write prescriptions, the company explained in a statement.
“With the innovations and expansions leaping far ahead from good old integrated products to addition of PDR Network’s suite of interactive drug services into iPatientCare Software, it would play a crucial role in providing critical drug safety and clinical information to physicians within their workflow,” Senior Technology Officer at iPatientCare Shripal Shah said.
“As the use of EHR platforms continues to become more prevalent in medical practice today, the need for efficient tools to support prescribers and their patients is greater than ever. With this partnership, we are proud to welcome iPatientCare to our growing PDR Certified EHR vendor network, now totaling over 180 EHRs reaching more than 87,000 prescribers,” senior vice president of Corporate Development, at PDR Network Andrew Gelman elaborated.
