DURHAM, NC and ROCHESTER, MI – January 24, 2017 – Eye Care Leaders (ECL), the leading provider of practice performance solutions for ophthalmologists and optometrists, today announced an agreement with OptimizeRx Corp. (OTCQB:OPRX), the leading aggregator of pharmaceutical-sponsored services in electronic health record (EHR) platforms, to provide cost saving and patient information services within the EHRs that are part of ECL’s portfolio of performance solutions.
OptimizeRx operates seamlessly within the EHR platform to provide support to health care providers and valuable services for patients. Within the EHR, providers are alerted to potential savings and information for patients that can result in reduced medication costs and improved overall health outcomes. Through the EHR, OptimizeRx’s services include:
- Financial Messaging – Copay savings and discount e-coupons can be delivered to patients electronically at the point of care leading to more affordable prescriptions.
- Clinical Messaging – Patient education materials can be delivered at the point of care, in electronic or printed versions, covering a wide array of topics including information on diseases, prevention and medication.
“We’re excited to be able to put these cost savings and patient education tools at the fingertips of our physicians through our EHR platforms,” said Jim Alland, president of Eye Care Leaders. “Incorporating these tools into our EHRs allows us to continue to fulfill our promise of providing the best, most comprehensive solutions to physicians while ensuring patients receive the highest level of care and services in the industry.”
OptimizeRx has grown to more than 350 EHR and eRx network partnerships that now reach over 300,000 physicians. OptimizeRx’s services incorporate seamlessly into EHR platforms, and usually can be integrated within a matter of hours. With healthcare providers spending an average of more than 3 hours a day engaged in their EHR, OptimizeRx operates easily within the work flow to alert physicians to cost savings opportunities and patient information. These services will be incorporated into ECL’s EHR platforms in the first quarter of 2017.
