DrFirst recently announced an agreement with ePocrates, Inc. that allows users of the ePocrates Rx drug reference guide and the ePocrates Rx Pro premium clinical reference suite to connect with DrFirst’s Rcopia e-Prescribing product. By linking the two applications on handheld devices, physicians now have the power to:
Access ePocrates’ unbiased, award-winning drug reference guide along with its information on contraindications, adverse reactions, drug interactions, off-label indications and formulary coverage, in an easy-to-use format
Write prescriptions and beforehand, check for drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions and compliance with major insurer’s formularies (approved list of drugs)
Carry their entire patient population, with the patient’s active medication and allergy lists, on their handheld device -- giving the ability to access patient data, review medication information, and write prescriptions whether or not connected to the Internet
Be truly mobile by using devices that connect through both local area wireless (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) or wide area wireless (using "all-in-one" cell phone, PDA, pager, and messaging devices)
Connect with other participants in the prescription fulfillment process
