to DUR and dispensing for most business models, including
Electronic Prescriptions, Retail, Chain Retail, Mail-Order
Clinical and Central Fill. Developed using the Java programming
language and standard web technologies,
ePostRx™ can serve as a direct open source
replacement for current proprietary pharmacy applications.
According to ANSHealth CEO John Strecker, “Open source
applications, such as ePostRx™,
free pharmacies of the monopoly lock-in of proprietary pharmacy
software, allows customization to meet 100% of the pharmacy
needs, allows support to be provided by your internal technical
resources or the vendor of your choice, and eliminates the
possibility that your pharmacy’s software will be
orphaned at the election of the software vendor. “
The company plans to offer services such as consulting,
software customizations, training, support and certification
for ePostRx. Additionally, the company plans to continue
development of innovative solutions and services that enable
pharmacies to facilitate higher fulfillment volumes, enhance
patient care and increase profitably.
Strecker went on to say, “ANSHealth is committed
to providing open, non-proprietary interoperability solutions
for our customers in order to improve patient care, reduce
total cost of ownership and increase profit margins”.

source application that can be downloaded, installed and
used without any software license or prescription transaction
fees.”
