docWebTRC Exec Promotes National eRx Program
Dr. Korbey joined executives Aetna, Allscripts, Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Sprint Nextel, SureScripts, WellPoint, and Wolters Kluwer Health in announcing the National ePrescribing Patient Safety InitiativeSM (NEPSISM). the first nationwide effort to improve patient safety by offering a solution to the medication errors that harm millions of people each year.
The nation's most prominent technology, healthcare, insurance and medical provider organizations led by Allscripts and Dell Computers announced a nationwide initiative to provide every physician in America access to free electronic prescribing -- in an effort to improve patient safety. The unprecedented initiative will greatly accelerate the adoption of this technology since only about 5 percent of the nation's 600,000 physicians currently use electronic prescribing platforms.
Electronic prescribing is now considered a key solution to resolve quality, cost and safety issues inherent in the written prescribing process. The web based eRx Now software is available to any physician with an Internet connection and requires no download, no new hardware, and minimal training. Electronic prescribing solutions enable physicians to make informed individual treatment decisions and reduce medical errors.
The National ePrescribing Patient Safety Initiative (NEPSI), led by Allscripts, is the first nationwide effort to improve patient safety by offering a comprehensive solution to medication errors that injure 1.5 million patients each year. For more information visit www.nationaleRx.com .

But what the staff really loves is listening to good music. One of their favorites is "The One", a breakthrough CD by Samantha Korbey. You can check Samantha out on her web site, or even better, vote for her video on music nation.
