http://www.newcroprx.com/companycontact.htmlWell, first, it is quite obvious that someone ePrescribed some heavy duty drugs to the guy who made New Crop's website. Or maybe, it should win an award in simplicity. I don't get the strawberries.
But, as I wrote in another thread, there apear to be several vendors such as New Crop that are the intermediaries or software for the EMRs, and then there are several SureScripts type companies which are the network that transfers all of the scripts. I think I recall from the SureScripts site that they advised calling your software company, NewCrop, first. Maybe I have this all wrong.
It would be interesting to email the CEO on the site. From what I can gather, there are a lot of players, and they don't all play well together. I think the script has to go from AC through NewCrop to Surescripts where it is processed in some manner before going to "OtherScripts" and down to the software for Rite Aid before making it to their computer. A longer road to travel than I thought. I don't think the system is broken as much as it 1) needs to be ironed out, and 2) needs a Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio merger. If we could get at least one network, it may help things a lot.
Here we are with email, which arrives in seconds, and we now have this new technology which should be rather zippy as well, but it doesn't seem to be.
I prefer using ePrescribe for a multitude of reasons. But, I now have to tell all my patients it may be 30 minutes. So, there are two big issues it has to work out:
1. Speed and consistency first. Should be on the pharmacists screen in less than a minute
2. One should be able to send ANY controlled substance without the ridiculous Something You Know, Something You Are, Something You Owm bullsh..... I thought that was for weddings.
