Virtuox Implements Authentidate's Inscrybeâ„¢ Healthcare Service to Manage Time-Critical Test Results and Physician Orders
Tuesday 02 September 2008
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Authentidate Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure workflow management software and web-based services, today announced that Virtuox, Inc., a leading Florida-based overnight Pulse Oximetry testing company, has implemented its Inscrybe Healthcare solution to securely organize and manage their time-critical testing results and physician orders for respiratory and sleep disorder patients.
Patients with serious sleep disorders typically require overnight monitoring of their blood oxygen levels with a Pulse Oximeter and often need daily adjustments in their prescribed medications based on test results. Subtle changes in breathing rhythms and oxygen levels during sleep cycles can be indications of serious medical conditions or become life-threatening if not treated promptly.
The Inscrybe Healthcare secure exchange service combines web and fax based communications capabilities to streamline administrative processes, reduce turn-around time and improve customer service. In this case, Inscrybe is being used to automate the communication of thousands of weekly test results and requests for changes in physician orders between Virtuox and their referring physicians, eliminating the potential for delays. Specifically, Inscrybe matches physicians' faxed or electronic responses to requests and the auto-resend feature sends a reminder if the physician has not replied within pre-set time parameters.
"By implementing Inscrybe Healthcare, we expect to shorten the cycle time of delivering patients' overnight test results to their physicians and getting physicians' updated signed oxygen orders returned," said Kyle Miko, Vice President at Virtuox, Inc. "The system allows us to pre-schedule automated follow-through with physicians that do not respond promptly, reducing the amount of manual follow-up we have to do."
"Virtuox gains the benefits of using Inscrybe without requiring their referring physicians to change anything, even though Virtuox is operating in a paperless mode," said Marcus Wagstaff, National Sales Director at Authentidate. "Physicians can continue to use fax communications or elect to use the electronic signing features provided by Inscrybe. Either way, the automated features and scheduling functions of Inscrybe are designed to help ensure timely delivery of patient care."
