SureScripts and RxHub Go Live
Village Pediatrics can now send electronic prescriptions directly into the computer systems of more than 98% of the pharmacies that our patients use regularly, including their mail order pharmacies. What does this mean for you? Greater accuracy and faster filling by your pharmacist for starters, but our new solution goes much further than that. With RxHub, our pediatricians automatically know which prescriptions will be covered by your insurer and the ultimate cost to you the patient based on your prescription coverage. By using this information to prescribe an affordable or generic drug, Village Pediatrics can make sure your child gets the best medicine at the best price.
Vote for Swine Fluey
The people’s candidate for the Southern Village Scarecrow Contest.
We figured the scariest thing these days was the swine flu, so our scarecrow is Swine Fluey, the Influenza Scarecrow! If you think she’s the scariest scarecrow in Southern Village, please vote for her at Bloom! Swine Fluey would like to remind you to cover your sneezes, wash your hands, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth!
SureScripts Electronic Prescribing
Village Pediatrics will be taking another step towards greater efficiency and improved patient care with the full implementation of e-prescription using SureScripts and our EMR, eClinicalWorks. E-prescribing allows physicians to better monitor patient medications and communicate more efficiently with the pharmacy. Better communication with pharmacists = better service to our patients. We’re looking forward to using this new tool to provide the fast and accurate prescription service you need with a busy family.
