How are folks handling ePrescriptions from openemr, now that the deadline is 2009, for bonus payments from Medicare ?

There is a physician in Florida who has e-scripts working in OpenEMR and has stated he would like to donate the code. I am not sure what (if any) progress has been made.

There is a Tina Johnson who is president of Weno Healthcare Inc. in Devine, Texas who is also working on this.

Tina intends to offer OpenEMR in an ASP model for her clients. She also offers secure email and has permission from CMS to provide e-prescribing without going through SureScripts. She intends to provide e-prescribing and is the only vendor outside of SureScripts that I am aware of. Her model is likely going to be less expensive than SureScripts and is definitely cheaper for the pharmacies.
Currently, e-prescribing is going to cost a nominal monthly fee to the physicians but SureScripts is charging the pharmacies 35 cents for each prescription on the back end.

I am new to this and has not had time to learn SVN. can someone instruct us newbies step by step how to add this into our current system?

First, make a backup of your existing system!
Next, go up to the menu here and find CVS Browse. You may have to click More to make it appear.
Click through to openemr and download the most recent version of each of the new files as detailed in Rod’s post. Place them in the appropriate directory on your system.
Find each of the modified files and click where it says "Diff to previous x.xx". It will show you a chart showing the changes you need to make. The line numbers may not line up exactly in your system, depending upon what version of OpenEMR you are patching.
Finally, there is one database change to make to accommodate this and you don’t have to run the entire 2.9.0 to 2.9.1 script. Log in to your database and run:
alter table users
ADD ssi_relayhealth varchar(64) NULL;
If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you so much. Will try it after I back up.
voipbound wrote on Sunday, January 18, 2009:
I just start adding this today. Can you teach how to ALTER TABLE users? Do I add it into the openemr database directly or can it be done through acl?
voipbound wrote on Sunday, January 18, 2009:
Right now, it is taking me to SF.net/Projects/SCM Repositories/openemr/openemr/includes/config.php repository whenever I try to log in to my EMR locally without making the ALTER TABLE user changes.
voipbound wrote on Sunday, January 18, 2009:
Ok this is weird. I am now able to modify the table after some research and understanding the command line that you had written. But now whenever I login, it still take me to the repository.
whimmel wrote on Sunday, January 18, 2009:
Hmm. Did you somehow drag config.php from the repository and drop it into a folder on your system?
voipbound wrote on Sunday, January 18, 2009:
Finally figured it out. It is now all fixed. Just waiting on my username. At the http://www.phyaura.com/phyaura_e-prescribing_19.html site, it looks like this is not going to be free. Am I correct in understand this. If so, no wonder not too many are jumping all over this.

Has this script been incorporated into or tested with 3.0?
jpmd wrote on Tuesday, March 24, 2009:
Yes it has and works fine. Myself and a large group of physicians have been using it for a while.
PHYAURA is currently in the process of completing deeper integration with OpenEMR and the third party providing the service.

We do not have a development account but could demo the single sign on functionality. I have been discussing with RelayHealth the new specs for development but it requires a Windows API to connect to their system. This is not something we want to do and we have told them this. They are developing an alternative means of letting us send prescriptions via OpenEMR’s prescription writer and then passing the information via HL7 engine for interaction checking and other features but this has not yet been released. We will keep the community posted.

I guess I thought PHYAURA was providing a link to Surescript? Can you explain to me the roles of PHYAURA and RelayHealth? Also I would be interested in a webservice approach if possible, and is there any information on the Windows API direction?
Thanks!

We are VARs for RelayHealth and we have been attempting to have them allow us to post their documentation without success. Bill has informed me that the API is actually a windows application that stands alone as a connector between OpenEMR and it’s HL7 engine and Relay Health. The connector passes outbound prescription information to an EMR but the prescription is written on their system.
Bill also describes the following which could bypass the Relay connector,
“Relay Health’s web services APIs are SOAP and HTTP which are not
language- or operating system specific. The functions that RH export are
basically a dozen different ways to do single sign-in (the variants
determine which page you end up on) and a couple of functions to count
patient messages. There’s one useful SOAP call that can add or update a
patient’s demographics to RH without using the RelayConnector software.”
Anyone interested in collaborating on development?

I guess my question then is “Is there any current solutions for openEMR today that allows us to take advatage of the SureScript Network?”
thanks!
