DoseSpot, an industry leader in e-Prescribing integration platforms for medical, dental and telehealth software, today announced that ACE Dental, a leading provider of dental practice management software and patient communications, has successfully integrated DoseSpot.
For the past two years ACE Dental has been ranked #1 among dental software companies by Top Ten Reviews because of the company’s top notch support and the software’s extensive feature set.  ACE Dental chose to integrate DoseSpot Dental to meet their e-Prescribing needs and expand their product offering to dentists utilizing the software.
The DoseSpot Dental platform integrated with ACE Dental offers dentists the ability to route e-Prescriptions to the patient’s pharmacy of choice after automatically checking for any drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions. Following successful Surescripts certification, ACE Dental also successfully completed an Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) integration review by Drummond Group Inc.  ACE Dental dentists can now e-Prescribe controlled and non-controlled prescriptions to more than 65,000 pharmacies nationwide.
“The need for e-Prescribing among dental software companies continues to grow as dentists are learning more about e-Prescribing and the ability to route both controlled and non-controlled substances electronically†said Greg Waldstreicher, CEO, DoseSpot. “We are thrilled to have ACE Dental as a customer and look forward to building a strong relationship with the ACE Dental team and their dental customers.â€

Needham Heights, MA (PRWEB) June 02, 2015
DoseSpot, an industry leader in e-Prescribing integration platforms for medical, dental and telehealth software, today announced that Maven, a digital health clinic designed exclusively for women, has completed Surescripts certification through DoseSpot.
Maven offers on demand video appointments directly to women seeking customized care for health and wellness, prenatal care, postpartum care and family care. Maven has hundreds of medical professionals available at the click of a button and through the DoseSpot integration, Maven’s prescribers can e-Prescribe to more than 65,000 pharmacies nationwide.
Maven opted to completely customize the look and feel of the DoseSpot user interface by tailoring the DoseSpot provided cascading style sheets (CSS). This allowed Maven to quickly match the DoseSpot and Maven user interfaces for a seamless e-Prescribing experience. “DoseSpot customers have the ability to completely white label our e-Prescribing solutionâ€, said Greg Waldstreicher, CEO, DoseSpot. “And we have really enjoyed working with Maven to customize their DoseSpot CSS for mobile optimization as their patients and prescribers conduct video appointments on mobile devices.â€
Through the DoseSpot integration, Maven prescribers are now able to route prescriptions electronically to the patient’s pharmacy of choice for the patient to then pick up. This workflow saves all parties involved a substantial amount of time as the patient does not need to travel to the prescriber’s office and the prescriber no longer needs to call the pharmacy. The telehealth care model is entirely focused around efficiency and the DoseSpot e-Prescribing integration further fuels increased efficiencies for the patient, prescriber and pharmacy.
“At Maven our mission is to support women by giving them instant access to healthcare. Sometimes this involves a prescription for medication. Our partnership with DoseSpot has enabled our network of doctors, midwives, and nurse practitioners to write prescriptions quickly, safely, and seamlessly,” said Katherine Ryder, Founder and CEO of Maven.

The DoseSpot Dental platform has been a top choice for DSOs since 2010 due to DoseSpot’s vast experience delivering scalable e-Prescribing software to large dental chains. The DoseSpot Dental platform not only meets the e-Prescribing needs of general dentists and specialists but it also provides DSO management teams with various tools to configure DoseSpot to meet the needs of the organization.
“We are excited to be working with Great Expressions Dental Centers and offer the robust DoseSpot Dental platform to their dentistsâ€, said Greg Waldstreicher, CEO, DoseSpot. “With offices across the country, it was important for Great Expressions Dental Centers to not only receive Surescripts certification but also complete the required Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) audit to send controlled substances electronically in advance of the New York state March 2016 mandate.â€
Last year, DoseSpot completed a third-party EPCS audit with Drummond Group Inc., a global software test and certification body that was approved by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to audit EPCS software applications. Through DoseSpot, Great Expressions also successfully completed an EPCS integration review by Drummond Group Inc. and dentists located at all Great Expressions’ clinics now e-Prescribe controlled substances.
“Great Expressions Dental Centers found a quick-to-implement solution in DoseSpot that not only allowed us to quickly meet state mandates for generating electronic prescriptions but will also meet the requirements for the larger federally run Electronic Health Records (EHR) programâ€, said Jason Wolan, Director or EHR Implementation, Great Expression Dental Centers. “In addition, the ease of use and simplified certification process, both with SureScripts and the Drummond Group have allowed us to make this platform widely available across our organization giving us the opportunity to better monitor and manage our operational activities.â€

Mobile health (known as mhealth) is one of the fastest growing markets today, and has been referred to by techies and health professionals alike as the “invisible link†between patients and doctors. With mobile applications at their disposal, doctors can more easily provide care with services moved to the cloud, allowing data to be accessed anywhere, anytime. Exactly how prevalent are these apps in the doctor’s office? Take a look below to find out.
In a recent study conducted by MedData Group, a healthcare marketing firm in Massachusetts, 2/3 of American doctors surveyed use mhealth apps while on the job. Nearly 50% of these doctors say they use mobile apps to look at medication interactions.
These percentages are expected to change over the next 12 months, with an anticipated increase in the number of doctors using apps that allow for EHR access. Many of these EHR apps will reduce time-consuming administrative work that doctors are currently subjected to.
According to Juniper Research’s latest report on the mhealth market, mobile apps are enhancing overall consumer engagement in healthcare by increasing information flow. Costs are being lowered by better decision-making, fewer in-person visits, greater treatment adherence, and remote monitoring. As of now, the overarching conclusion in the mhealth sphere is this: doctors are open to adopting a wide variety of mhealth technologies, if they see a clear benefit.
THE FINANCIAL FACT$:
- According to the Global Mobile Health Market Report 2013-2017 by research2guidance, the mhealth market will reach $26 billion USD globally by 2017
- Juniper Research’s latest report on the mhealth market forecasts cumulative cost savings of up to $36 billion USD globally over the next 3 years
- Consumers are currently driving much of the demand for mhealth technologies and applications

Scheduling a doctor’s appointment is never fun.  As identified by the Merritt Hawkins’ 2014 Survey of Physician Appointment Wait Times, appointments can take months to schedule.  With the increasing number of apps available, waiting will soon be a thing of the past.  For starters, there are many self-scheduling apps where patients can schedule day of appointments online like ZocDoc, DocASAP and InQuicker.  Another healthIT trend steadily increasing is telehealth where a patient can video chat with a doctor in a matter of seconds. Companies such as Doctor On Demand, HealthSpot and American Well all offer innovative telehealth solutions.
