Carson City, NV - May 14, 2008 - Integra, Inc. and Creative Strategies have partnered to create an interface between Integra's industry leading workflow and document management software, DocuTrack, and Creative Strategies' Accu-flo system.
"The growing necessity for our customers to provide eMAR solutions encouraged Integra to partner with Creative Strategies' Accu-flo system," said Louie Foster, Integra's Director of Product Development. "The interface resulting from this collaboration will provide the foundation to further streamline pharmacy operations by reducing fax dependency and increasing DocuTrack's ability to automatically triage and file documents."
eMAR is a point-of-care process that utilizes bar code reading technology to monitor the bedside administration of medications. It is used to ensure intended residents receive correct medications and dosages in a timely fashion.
With this interface both Accu-flo and DocuTrack can seamlessly integrate into the pharmacy's workflow. DocuTrack/Accu-flo customers can then achieve better routing capability as well as direct integration to DocuTrack from within the Accu-flo application itself.
"We are very excited about this collaboration and the benefits it can offer the medical industry," said John Carroll, President of Creative Strategies. "This is the next step in moving forward towards the total electronic health record and allows us to help our Pharmacy partners to get the information they need more accurately and efficiently."
Still in the early planning stages, the Accu-flo eMAR interface is expected to be completed by summer of this year.
