I am working with Allscripts and there is a solution to link it to the openEMR but at the moment to only windows application….we are still discussing. You can call me if you like and I can update you details of my efforts. sraj49@fairoaksehrlive.com.

Couldn’t you integrate Allscripts via their web interface?  I.e. screen scraping and generally emulating what a user of it would do.

OpenEMR Support, LLC is currently developing a direct connection with SureScripts.  We have already completed the OpenEMR GUI portion with drug-drug, drug-allergy, drug-food, drug-disease  interaction checking.  This is in the final stages of QA.  The drug database uses the Lexi-comp database. 

We are in the final stages of completing an E-Prescribing module that currently does new prescriptions, cancel prescriptions and refill prescriptions.  This portion is also nearing completion and is likely to be finished in the first week of March. 

What has been slowing us down the most is the bureaucracy of dealing with SureScripts.  Currently they have frozen new applications until they can get a new version of their software installed.and are not planning on letting us to move forward on prescription history, insurance formulary, and changing prescriptions and April or after.

Dr. Bowen,

Is the code something that can be checked into CVS so that some of us can review and start learning the required changes? Also in the last part of your message, “not planning on letting us move foward on …” are you saying they are starting to restrict certain functions in the interface they are offering?

thanks

It is good to hear that already work is being done. I was not aware of this. I couldn’t find the codes in the cvs……

I left out “until” April or after.  They have a “level 3” certificationwhich allows the functionality that is close to being finished.  The latter three items is what they refer to as “level 7” certification.  We fall into the “new client” category and they want to get their new software in place before they allow us further progress.

I am trying to get the code checked into the SVN for review.

So what does the following code do??

// To use RelayHealth, Call 888-PHYAURA (749-2872) and press 1 to Sign-up
// for the service and receive your Client ID.  Then you may uncomment
// and alter the following as appropriate.
//
// $GLOBALS['ssi']['rh']['ApplicationName'] = 'PhyauraSSI';
// $GLOBALS['ssi']['rh']['PartnerName']     = 'Phyaura';

This code allow you to Single sign on to RelayHealth’s portal.  They just released a promotion to discount the e-prescribing module to us for 3 months. There is a release in the works that will allow the web service to log into a patient account in RelayHealth and e-prescribe without searching a patient.  Let me know if you want to see a demo.  We have over 60 clients using this now.  This was the solution for our providers to capture the 2% medicare bonus for 2009 and 2010.

WENO INFO

WENO is an e-Prescribing switch based in Austin, Texas that specializes in routing electronic prescriptions (eRx) between trading partners. When established in 2011, WENO was hailed as an innovative competitor in an otherwise dominated e-prescribing network market. WENO utilizes a patent-pending method, which provides the first and only service enabling electronic prescriptions to be sent to any pharmacy. In addition, WENO offers health IT trading partners a simplified process toward connectivity. WENO also boasts the industry’s highest EHR incentive revenues and pharmacy’s lowest transaction fees. WENO Benefit Services gives participants opportunity to provide patients and prescribers with medication histories and more cost information when they are in the process of selecting a drug, whether the patient prefers to pay cash or take advantage of a 3rd party offer or government program. The WENO Benefit program uses a patent pending method designed to assure health plans, drug sponsors, and pharmacies that their data is shown consistently and used appropriately in the market.

Tina Johnson, Dr. Peyton Thompson and www.openmedpractice.com
are working together to integrate the eRx featue and more into OpenEMR.

I’m interested in the current status and planned next steps regarding the integration of SureScript ePrescribing with OpenEMR. Could someone please share updates on where this effort stands?

Additionally, I would appreciate if you could point me to the main contact person or team leading this development, so I can coordinate or contribute accordingly.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello @anujjoshi3105

I am unaware of any current efforts to integrate SureScripts/ eRx into OpenEMR itself. At the moment two outfits provide integrated 3d party eRx: Ensora (formerly NewCrop) and weno.

I am the contact for Ensora on OpenEMR and I believe SJPadgett is up to date on the latest on weno.

You can search this forum for the name of either application to see what people are saying about each one.

Please feel free to DM me for info on Ensora specifically.

Best- Harley
