This whole thread is just proof of the insane asylum that "healthcare" has become.
Here is what Bloomberg says about Exostar -- and I ask you
1. Is that an English paragraph?
2. Why do I need someone to "manage my value chain". I've been able to manage it pretty well by myself for the last 74 years.
Company Overview
Exostar LLC provides cloud-based solutions for multi-organizational collaboration, information sharing, value chain management, and supply chain management needs. It offers identity credentialing and access management, secure collaboration, and supply chain management products. The company also provides assessment, implementation, and customer support services. It serves aerospace and defense, healthcare, pharmaceutical, life science, financial, and other markets worldwide. The company was founded in 2000 and is based in Herndon, Virginia.
Fortunately, in Oregon we can still write paper prescriptions, and if there is any concern about "authentication" the pharmacist simply calls up on the phone to check.
So much frustration, time wasting, and distraction is distilled in the posts above! And why in the world should we pay all that money, to say nothing about wasting all that time, to those parasites in Virginia?? $500/year to write a few narcotics? I think it is time to seriously give up that class of prescription.
