(Media-Newswire.com) - Annapolis, MD – March 10, 2008 - RxNT, the nation’s leader in electronic prescribing, today recognizes SureScripts for their outstanding efforts in raising national awareness on the benefits of electronic prescribing. Annually, The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS), the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and SureScripts® recognizes three physicians in each of the top 10 e-prescribing states for their outstanding efforts to embrace e-prescribing through the SafeRx™ award.
Three physicians that utilize the RxNT application were presented the Safe Rx award. These physicians have demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to patient safety through their use of e-prescribing technology. One of the physicians recognized was Dr. Jeffrey Kleiman of Brockton, MA. He has been a user of RxNT since 2003 and practices medicine in the proud state of Massachusetts which was ranked first in the nation for electronic prescribing for the second year in a row.
“RxNT was fabulous in helping me get though the process of setting up electronic prescribing before it was fashionable,” states Dr. Kleiman. “I ‘push the envelope’ a lot with regards to technology's usage in medical practice. It is critical to have excellent technical support in a timely manner. Lives frequently depend on it.”
“We were excited to see one of our practitioners receive an award presented in person by Speaker Newt Gingrich”, states Randy Boldyga, President/CEO of RxNT. "Any time you can provide former Speaker of the House Gingrich and Senator Kerry (D-MA) with a forum that will bring awareness to an issue as important as e-prescribing, it's a good day for the healthcare industry".
