I couldn't help but think of itrust when I was reading this from DrFirst - "Rcopia is DrFirst’s electronic prescription management system that allows physicians to print, fax, or email any prescription; operates on multiple handheld devices or desktop computers; has the ability to easily interface with practice management systems that communicate via the HL7 standard for medical information; and can be used online or offline. The newest enhancement to Rcopia, RcopiaSync, allows physicians to create prescriptions any time, anywhere, and on any device. Rcopia is the product of unsurpassed technical expertise and is part of DrFirst’s integrated suite of physician practice management solutions. DrFirst’s products also include electronic medical records, enterprise practice management solutions, and secure messaging exchange. Unlike most other electronic prescription systems which require physicians to use a specific device, DrFirst has developed the first electronic prescription management system that truly is device independent. DrFirst understands that each physician practices medicine differently; therefore, it is unrealistic to expect all physicians to carry the same personal digital assistant (PDA) or write prescriptions in the same way. Rcopia allows physicians to create prescriptions as they prefer instead of adapting their style to the technology. A physician can write prescriptions when, where, and on what devices he or she likes best. The only requirement for Rcopia is Internet access and even that can be intermittent or wireless. Any device that can connect to the Internet through a standard web browser can run Rcopia without any installation, downloading, or specialized setup. RcopiaSync provides true flexibility to physicians to use Rcopia at the point-of-care, office, hospital, or home. This works from a desktop, laptop, wireless PC, and handheld devices with Internet capability. RcopiaSync works with the Palm to allow the physicians to write prescriptions both online and offline from either their desktop or wireless computers......"drfirst.com Rick
