NEW YORK, April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ramp Corporation today announced that its wholly owned HealthRamp subsidiary and QRS Healthcare Solutions (QRS) have signed an agreement to promote HealthRamp’s CarePoint suite of technology to prospective and existing customers of QRS’ Paradigm: Practice Management Suite. One point of the agreement calls for QRS to create a proprietary interface to extract patient information from its Paradigm(R): Practice Management Suite for export to CarePoint. QRS Healthcare Solutions is the exclusive manufacturer and sales and support resource of the Paradigm(R): Practice Management Suite. HealthRamp develops and markets the CarePoint suite of technologies, which 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 to be able to offer electronic prescribing, via HealthRamp’s CarePoint technologies, to our current and prospective customers. Demand for electronic prescribing amongst our customer base has been growing, therefore we anticipate a very positive reception to our combined technologies,” said Jeff Abbott, CTO of QRS Healthcare Solutions. “Ultimately, we envision our partnership resulting in a single, transparent electronic link for healthcare providers to gain access at the point-of-care to what have been incompatible, and at times, unreliable software technologies in their offices. HealthRamp’s approach to providing access to better healthcare, at a highly affordable price, along with their commitment to customer satisfaction, makes them an ideal QRS partner,” concluded Abbott.
“The QRS Paradigm(R): Practice Management Suite, combined with CarePoint, will provide physicians with a robust in-office technology solution. Building on QRS’ strengths, CarePoint adds efficient point-of-care functionality that is not typically found in practice management systems,” stated Andrew Brown, Ramp CEO and President. “We are very excited about working with QRS to meet the electronic prescribing needs of its customers. While integrating our technologies is a core part of this new relationship, one of the other exciting aspects is being able to market alongside QRS in its territories. The QRS brand should afford us a strong opportunity to garner a significant user base in the markets in which they operate. Healthcare is still a local industry in many respects, so strong regional partnerships such as this one with QRS are a key to our deployment strategy,” Brown concluded.
QRS, Inc. is a privately held corporation founded in 1982. Originally established as a provider of cardiology capital equipment, QRS transitioned to software development in 1987. Over the past 15 years, QRS has become a leading provider of physician management systems, servicing a broad range of customers in nearly 30 states across the U.S. Additional information about QRS Healthcare Solutions Paradigm(R) Practice Management Suite, and its products and services, can be found at http://www.qrsparadigm.com/.
