AXOLOTL EXPANDS ELYSIUM PRESCRIPTION MANAGEMENT
Axolotl's HIE Physicians Benefit from New Electronic
Prescription Management Features
Mountain View, CA, March 26, 2007 Axolotl Corp. today
released a new version of its Elysium product, with a focus
on delivering Elysium E-Prescribing customers added value and
ease of use. The release also includes a Health Alert distribution
feature, the ability to display community-wide inpatient and emergency
room visit details, and additional Clinical Messaging® capabilities.
Recognizing the importance of e-Prescribing and medication management
in current and emerging health information exchanges (HIEs), Axolotl
worked closely with a focus group of physicians, nurses, physician
assistants, and nurse practitioners to define and implement a range
of prescription management enhancements. The result is an easy-to-use,
personalized prescription writer, with accurate de-duplicated medication
history for interaction checking and seamless, bi-directional, electronic
connections to retail pharmacies to deliver prescriptions and receive
renewal requests.
"This Elysium release allows our customers to leverage
recent and emerging changes in the availability of medication history,
formularies and eligibility," shared Ray Scott, CEO of Axolotl.
"Our objective is to provide clinicians at the point of care
with the information they need to create safe and accurate prescriptions
for the patient. In this release we have listened to our customers
and addressed their needs. We have ongoing development programs with
the nation's leading pharmacy networks to further improve our product
and stay ahead of the curve."
Principal features in Axolotl's newest Elysium release include:
Prescription Management
Many usability and efficiency enhancements have been made, including:
improved management of "favorites"; enhanced drug search
capability; and automated de-duplication and management of the med
history on the Elysium Patient Summary. This release is fully
certified with SureScripts V4 and in conjunction with Elysium's
robust workflow management tools, completely automates the prescription
renewal process, saving office staff time and improving prescription
accuracy.
Dick Thompson, Executive Director of Quality Health Network in Grand
Junction Colorado stated, "Electronic prescribing provides significant
improvements in patient safety. QHN physician users will be very pleased
to use the new Elysium release - to further improve the efficiency
of the Rx writing process."
Health Alerts
Elysium now publishes and distributes health alerts to all
Elysium users; electronic, fax, and hard copy recipients. Elysium
Health Alerts have already demonstrated value in Public Health
Departments for an outbreak of cryptosporidium which was reported
to seventeen health districts in a five county region of the HealthBridge
community in Cincinnati. Alerts can also be used for other educational
purposes. This feature enhances Elysium's already robust and
advanced public health automated disease reporting and notification
capabilities.
