Horizon Eye Care, PA Selects SRS ePrescribing and OpenPath(TM) Technology for Its 20 Physicians

High-Speed Solution Meets Needs of High-Performance Physicians


MONTVALE, NJ--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - SRS, the leader in high-performance hybrid EMR solutions, today announced that Horizon Eye Care, PA has selected SRS ePrescribing and OpenPath™ technology for its seven-office, 20-provider ophthalmology practice, which provides care to the greater Charlotte community of North Carolina.

"We are committed to securing the best technology applications for our practice," says Rod Roeser, CEO of Horizon Eye Care. "We chose the SRS ePrescribing module over the alternatives -- including the free ones -- because, in the opinion of our selection committee, it is the best designed of the many systems we reviewed. In addition, we value the SRS OpenPath technology because it will allow us to integrate all of our clinical applications into one cohesive system."

"SRS designs its products with speed at the forefront," says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. "Even as a stand-alone product, our ePrescribing module provides direct access to clinical exam notes, which enhances physician productivity, clinical decision-making, and patient care. The SRS OpenPath platform allows the integration of Horizon Eye's other clinical applications with ePrescribing -- practice management, charge capture, PACS, and messaging systems -- with one seamless interface."

SRS was designed with direct input by its high-performance physicians. Giving the physicians a system that fits their needs helps them to work more efficiently and achieve a rapid return on their investment. SRS, which has built the largest national network of high-performance practices that successfully use an EMR, attributes its unmatched adoption rate to ease of use, fast implementation, and an accelerated timeframe for training physicians and office staff.

"SRS understands our high-performance practice and our unique needs," says Mark Malton, M.D., Chairman at Horizon Eye Care. "Their software design is the most flexible and open we have seen, and the ePrescribing module is the easiest and quickest to use. We are confident that when we are ready to transition to a full EMR, SRS will be the right choice as well."
