Pulse Systems, Inc. was recently awarded the Surescripts White Coat of Quality for prescription accuracy and completeness through its Pulse Complete EHR Software Solution. The White Coat of Quality program's goal is to achieve 100% reliability in e-prescribing and requires organizations who achieve this award to demonstrate measured quality, continuous improvement and training to improve the safety of the technology used in e-prescribing.

"As the use of e-prescribing continues to grow, electronic health record and e-prescribing vendors continue to benefit from the knowledge that comes from Surescripts' pharmacists, clinicians, technologists and quality experts conducting clinical quality reviews on millions of electronic prescription messages -- all while protecting the privacy of personal health information," said David Yakimishchak, Chief Quality Officer at Surescripts. "Coat of Quality recognizes those vendors that have embraced that knowledge and are using it to improve their technology and train their prescribers. These vendors are not simply replacing handwritten prescriptions with e-prescriptions, they are seizing the opportunity to learn and apply continuous improvements to prescription accuracy, completeness and safety."

E-prescribing saves lives, improves efficiency and reduces the cost of healthcare for all. Surescripts' industry-wide quality program ensures that these benefits are fully realized. The program is made possible by a nationwide network that enables Surescripts to measure prescription safety, accuracy and completeness in a way that is simply not possible with other forms of prescribing. This uniquely enables Surescripts to collaborate with EHR vendors, pharmacies and PBMs on continuous improvements to the e-prescribing process -- from the time a prescription is first considered by the prescriber to the time the medication is dispensed, and at all points in between.

"We are proud to have achieved the Surescripts White Coat of Quality Award in addition to being one of only seven EHR/EMR vendors to have achieved Surescripts Gold Solution Provider status. This proves, yet again, to our clients that the Pulse Complete EHR Solution is providing the safest, most efficient and highest-quality Solution available," says Basil Hourani, President and CEO of Pulse.

Pulse Complete EHR Solution is used by thousands of physicians across the United States to provide more efficient and complete quality care for their patients. For more information on Pulse and their healthcare IT solutions visit www.pulseinc.com.
