Benevis Brings DoseSpot E-Prescribing Technology to Dental Practice Clients to Improve Patient Safety, Quality and Efficiencies

ATLANTA, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Benevis - a leading business support services company for healthcare practices - today announced the launch of DoseSpot, an integrative, e-Prescription software program that allows the hundreds of Benevis-affiliated dentists and oral surgeons to discard their script pads and electronically order medications with ease and enhanced safety protocols for the more than two million patients they serve annually.

"Benevis understands the importance of staying ahead of the health IT curve and how the latest technologies aid clinicians in their day-to-day practice, as well as enhance patient safety and quality of care," said Tom Nance, CEO for Benevis. "Benevis established itself as a leader in HIT when its proprietary electronic health record (EHR) system, Boomerang, was certified by an ONC-ACB in June of 2014.* A key component of certification and achieving meaningful use was finding an e-prescription solution that would work in both our clinical and software environment."

Benevis decided on DoseSpot's software because of its ability to seamlessly integrate with the Benevis Boomerang EHR system and to meet the criteria of the 2014 edition ONC certification for multiple modules. DoseSpot also offered better integration to Lexicomp, an online drug information reference and patient education resource already used by Benevis-affiliated dentists.

"Benevis-affiliated dentists now have DoseSpot, a sophisticated, dental-specific, e-Prescribing platform incorporated into their dental workflow," commented Greg Waldstreicher, President, DoseSpot.  "Dental clinicians will be able to send e-Prescriptions to more than 66,000 pharmacies across the nation, confidentially review a patient's medication history, and check for drug-to-drug and drug-to-allergy interactions all at the point of care.  This new technology is a win-win for both dentists and their patients."

DoseSpot and Lexicomp partnered in 2011 to exclusively provide dental offices with dental-specific drug and clinical information solutions. DoseSpot's innovative e-Prescribing platform in conjunction with Lexicomp® Online™ for Dentistry provides dentists with the tools needed to safely and efficiently prescribe medication electronically.
