Southampton,
Pennsylvania – January 26, 2005: ANSHealth Solutions
(ANSHealth), Inc., an exclusive provider of state-of-the-art
ePharmacy solutions today announced the availability of their
on-line subscription service called ePostRxTranslator™.
The new service provides a low cost alternative to hiring
EDI/pharmacy specialists or managing the multiple versions
of NCPDP SCRIPT currently being used in the healthcare industry.
NCPDP SCRIPT is the electronic format used to transfer prescription
information between physicians and pharmacists.
To use ePostRxTranslator™, customers simply download
and embed a toolkit provided by ANSHealth in their application
to build and securely transmit the desired NCPDP SCRIPT transaction
to an online server via the Internet. The server then translates
and validates the message according to the specified industry
implementation, version/release and is returned to the customer
in the required UN/EDIFACT™ format. Customers can then
forward the returned message to their respective trading partner
or prescription gateway.
According to John Strecker, President and CEO of ANSHealth,
"The last few years have seen an increase in Electronic
Prescription services and applications. However, many of these
vendors are finding the implementation of NCPDP SCRIPT cost
prohibitive because of the learning curve and the various
implementations being used in the healthcare industry. Our
subscription service provides companies with a low-cost alternative
to costly in-house development and on-going maintenance of
NCPDP SCRIPT implementations."
