EPN - Electronic Prescribing News

NEW YORK, May 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ramp Corporation (Amex: RCO - News) today announced that its CarePoint technology suite has been deployed as the electronic prescribing solution for Great Lakes Family Care. Great Lakes is a premier multispecialty 14 physician group practice in Cadillac Michigan. Ramp Corporation, through its wholly-owned HealthRamp subsidiary, develops and markets the CarePoint suite of technologies. CarePoint enables electronic prescribing, lab orders and results, Internet-based communication, data integration and transaction processing over a handheld device or browser, at the point-of-care.

"We are pleased with the positive impact that CarePoint has had on our practice. CarePoint streamlines the initial prescription process, reduces the paperwork involved in the renewal process, increases patient safety by eliminating legibility issues and allows us to quickly run patient reports on recalled medications. CarePoint has reduced our staff's administrastive headaches, while our physicians have begun to integrate CarePoint into the way they communicate with their nurses," stated Mike Zdrodowski, Director of Great Lakes Family Care. "HealthRamp has done a fine job in working with us to listen to our concerns, and incorporate our feedback into future product releases. We have worked collaboratively to refine the program to meet our day-to-day needs in the office," concluded Zdrodowski.

"From day one the product has been great to use, and it improves as the patients' prescription histories are built. I could not imagine going back to practicing medicine without using CarePoint," stated Dr. Grant Lange of Great Lakes Family Care.

"As we gain experience at penetrating the ambulatory care market with our CarePoint technology suite, we are attracting larger group practices such as Great Lakes. We continue to find success by aggressively positioning CarePoint as more than a standalone drug reference guide, without the cost or cumbersome adoption so closely associated with electronic medical record systems. We are pleased Great Lakes has embraced CarePoint and we look forward to providing them with additional features and functionalites as CarePoint evolves," stated Andrew Brown, Ramp CEO and President.

Ramp Corporation, through its wholly owned HealthRamp subsidiary, develops and markets the CareGiver and CarePoint suite of technologies. CareGiver enables long term care facility staff to easily place orders for drugs, treatments and supplies from a wireless handheld PDA or desktop web browser. CarePoint enables electronic prescribing, lab orders and results, Internet-based communication, data integration, and transaction processing over a handheld device or browser, at the point-of-care. HealthRamp's products enable communication of value-added healthcare information among physician offices, pharmacies, hospitals, pharmacy benefit managers, health management organizations, pharmaceutical companies and health insurance companies.
