RTIN experienced a 1 for 50 RS. However, they now have a new symbol: RTNH This one is going to be huge! Check out this from a previous Press Release: MedEx has developed a patent pending technology as well as co-branding with AT&T Managed Internet Services (MedEx is one of only four members of AT&T's exclusive Hyper Growth Program) that effectively deals with the medical prescription nightmare that exists for physicians, medical staffs, insurers and patients. The success of the roll out of the MedEx wireless electronic medical prescription writing devices in concert with the automatic fulfillment of prescription drugs at Pegasus Pharmacy in the New Orleans market has positioned the new combined organizations as a market leader in the burgeoning and underserved $100 billion pharmacy industry. Subsequent to proving the remarkable effectiveness of this new system at Louisiana State University, Tulane University, Veterans Administration Hospital, The University of New Orleans (through the Pain Mastery Center of Louisiana), and East Jefferson General Hospital, the Company is fast tracking expansion into 28 additional major US markets, with 33 new pharmacies scheduled to open in 2002 beginning with stores already under way in Baton Rouge, LA and Longview, TX with Houston and Dallas, TX next in line. The MedEx crown jewel is a unique state-of-the-art electronic prescribing unit. The unit consist of Compaq's lightweight, hand-held, personal computer -- the iPaq -- loaded with MedEx System's easy-to-use, proprietary software, Zip Script 2001© that utilizes secure, broadband wireless technology. The system allows physicians to abandoned handwritten prescriptions, an archaic practice wrought with errors due to illegibility, often producing catastrophic results. The US Health and Human Services Department attribute 2,000,000 prescription errors annually with 777,000 patients suffering injury or death directly related to illegible prescriptions. The Joint Commission on Accreditation and Healthcare Organizations, the most prominent healthcare accreditation group, issued an alert on October 4, 2001 urging providers to use electronic prescribing systems. (In early 2000, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices called for the complete elimination of handwritten prescriptions by the year 2003). JCAHO added that such medication errors related to poor handwriting could be minimized if physicians wrote their prescriptions electronically. As a result the alert said, the risk to patients and the costs associated with drug related morbidity and mortality could be ``drastically'' reduced. In addition to significantly reducing the probability of errors, the MedEx System provides the physician with a suite of additional features readily available at their fingertips. The hand held computer can be customized to meet the unique needs of each physician by including databases of patients, schedules, access to medical libraries and Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) information, frequently prescribed medications, and internet access allowing real-time availability of important information critical to the physician's practice. The system allows the physician to order and confirm prescriptions in seconds with a few keystrokes, and the secure wireless aspects of the technology automatically updates client files on the fly. At a cost to the physician of approximately $99.95 per month, the system saves considerable time, reduces errors, which may lower liability insurance costs, and eliminates the burdensome process of telephone verification of prescriptions with pharmacists. The prescription can be automatically forwarded to a Pegasus Pharmacy for fulfillment. After leaving the physician's office the patient can stop by a Pegasus Pharmacy or arrange to have the prescription delivered. The Pegasus Pharmacy concept is unique. These small facilities containing approximately 2,000 square feet, deal exclusively in filled scripts prescribed by up to 20 physicians in a local area. The focus of the current expansion is servicing practices that deal in chronic pain management. These physicians deal extensively in controlled substances. This is a unique and severely underserved niche market. There is a pervasive reluctance among many pharmacies to carry and dispense a large percentage of pain medications. This practice has created unnecessary hardships and barriers to effective therapeutic medication for the 34 million Americans who suffer with chronic pain. In a secure facility, through the collaborative model and state-of-the-art technology, MedEx Systems and Pegasus Pharmacy work with physicians to ensure patients are appropriately treated and are able to obtain medications that provide relief quickly, conveniently and cost effectively.
