Southampton,
Pennsylvania December 19, 2006 - AdvanceNet Health
Solutions (ANSHealth), announced today that Lifespan Pharmacy
Inc., has successfully began dispensing prescriptions with
ePostRx™ as its primary pharmacy fulfillment solution.
ePostRx™, the healthcare industry's only enterprise
pharmacy web solution, is licensed under the OSI (Open Source
Initiative) approved GNU General Public License (GPL). Additionally,
ANSHealth offers commercial services for ePostRx™ such
as consulting, software customizations, training, support
and certification.
ePostRx™ is a full featured pharmacy management system
that automates the prescription-fulfillment process, from
Order/Rx/OTC receipt and insurance adjudication, 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 LifeSpan COO Ari Oberman "We did extensive
due diligence and after looking at alternatives we knew that
ePostRx was the best solution for our unique business model.
Being open source, ePostRx™ will allow us to fully customize
the software to meet our business needs freeing us of the
normal vendor lock associated with a proprietary solution.
Furthermore, as a web application, ePostRx™ provides
LifeSpan Pharmacy with an enterprise solution that reduces
our normal Total Cost of Ownership (TOC)."
ANSHealth President John Strecker is very pleased that LifeSpan
Pharmacy has selected ePostRx™ as its open source pharmacy
solution. "This proves that the open source model is
very much applicable to the healthcare industry. We believe
ePostRx™ offers pharmacy owners a cost effective alternative
to that of proprietary software and provides inherit flexibility
for business growth. We look forward to a very long and rewarding
business relationship with Lifespan Pharmacy".
Lifespan Pharmacy is the third ePostRx™ client to go
into production for ANSHealth in the past six months. With
a growing list of clients, ANSHealth is looking forward towards
a successful 2007 as Healthcare IT executives begin to accept
the open source model as an alternative to proprietary pharmacy
systems.
