Overview

There are currently three known options for e-prescribing in OpenEMR.

Newcrop, a subscription service, is well integrated into OpenEMR.

Allscripts is quite good and requires no fees.

Weno Exchange is well integrated and requires no fees.

Meaningful Use

The Newcrop solution can be deployed to achieve Meaningful Use. The alternative is to add both the Allscripts website and the Greasemonkey script. The Weno Exchange can possibly be used for Meaningful Use if these policies are enacted again in the future.

Allscripts

This section describes the integration of the Allscripts ePrescribe website with OpenEMR.

Website

  • Clicking the green button, with the question mark in the middle of it, navigates to the Help Section. This button is located at the bottom. The Help Section will give instructions regarding account acquisition and website use.
  • It is not necessary to pay for Deluxe Allscripts to use the Greasemonkey script. Choose Free Allscripts instead.

  • A Greasemonkey Installation dialog will appear. Click the "Install" button.

  • Check the Add-ons Manager of Firefox to ensure that Allscripts IntegrationMM had been installed.


Using the Script

  • Go to the Patient Summary screen and click the "Allscripts" button at the top, to the right of the patient's age. If viewing with split screens, the Allscripts logon will appear in one of the two screens. If a check mark had been placed in the box between the patient's age and the "Allscripts" button, clicking the button will cause the Allscripts logon to appear in another tab.

  • If the Untrusted Connection warning appears in a split screen and an exception cannot be added, open Allscripts in another tab.

  • Click "I Understand the Risks" and add an exception.

  • After logging on, the patient data will populate automatically if an account had been created previously. If a new account needs to be established, click the "Add Patient" button.

  • In the Add New Patient screen, click the "Load from OpenEMR" button to import the data and click "Save".

Non-Functioning

If both the split screen login and the "Load From OpenEMR" button are non-functional; the cause stems from the fact that the version of Firefox, when first installed, pre-dated version 31.0. Firefox underwent major changes with 31.0. Upgrading to the latest version will not permit the script to work properly, thus the following steps are necessary.

  • Uninstall Greasemonkey and the script.
  • Browser customizations should be preserved with Sync.
  • Uninstall Firefox and reinstall the latest version.
  • Reinstall Greasemonkey and the Allscripts IntegrationMM script.

Acknowledgment

The author of this clever and exceedingly useful script is Kevin Yeh, M.D., of IntegralEMR.

Modifications were contributed by Marcin Matuszkiewicz.


NewCrop

A partnership of ZH Healthcare and Medical Information Integration, LLC (mi-squared) called ZMG created the NewCrop interface for e-prescribing.

Weno

Understanding Weno:

Weno is a message gateway that is going up against SureScripts. The Weno system is a hybrid system that can send a prescription to a pharmacy via electronic message or fax. Either way it is counted as electronic prescribing by CMS.

The benefit to a practice is that no matter how the prescription arrives at the pharmacy from Weno. At attestation, the practice can be credited with using eRx.

  • A partnership with Weno Exchange will be bringing a free Rx service to the OpenEMR platform.
  • The reason that the service will be free is that the pharmaceutical company will be paying us incentives from the prescribing volume
  • This money will be used to continually build and enhance the interface and 5% of the proceeds will be donated the OpenEMR project.


After the meeting with Tina to review the software workflow, she suggested the change below. The system will utilize the pharmacy setting in the patient demographics. And offer and mail order pharmacy. The mail order pharmacy is cheaper and convenient for the patient. The Weno connected pharmacies will be factored in at a later date. Right now we solved the issue of the current pharmacies in a practice database.

The confirmation on the page is a real time response from the Weno system. It takes approximately up to 10 sec.

Confirmation trouble.png

If after clicking the Transmit button, you do not receive a confirmation reply from Weno that looks like the image above.

That means there is missing data.

  • Make sure the patient demographics is complete with full address
  • Make sure that only the prescribing doctor is logged in and sending the prescription.
