Wedgewood Pharmacy Introduces Green Rabbit Rx E-Prescribing Tool
SWEDESBORO, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CompoundingPharmacy–Wedgewood Pharmacy, the largest U.S. compounding pharmacy specializing
in animal health, has introduced Green Rabbit Rx, a
new e-prescribing tool, with the new and improved features requested
by veterinarians. It is available to licensed veterinarians at Order.WedgewoodPetRx.com.
This sophisticated new prescription tool is the result of significant
research and development into expanding the capabilities of the
company’s first-to-market e-prescribing tool, introduced in 2012.
The new tool offers these veterinarian-requested features:
-
Free standard shipping for any prescriptions billed to the veterinary
office, even when shipped directly to a pet owner. -
Improved search functions using predictive auto-completion to quickly
locate both pet owners and their pets. -
Improved functionality to allow prescribing multiple medications for a
patient and for multiple prescriptions in the same order. -
Integration with the Google auto-complete address database to speed
adding new patients to an existing account. -
Fast refill ordering directly from patient-history records to speed
refills and reduce errors. -
Ability to compare doses and dosage forms of compounded medications
for the most cost-effective version. -
Shipping estimates that show when an order will be shipped, reducing
the need for time-consuming telephone follow-ups.
Wedgewood Pharmacy, based in Swedesboro, New Jersey, makes customized
medications for people and their pets when FDA–manufactured drugs cannot
meet their needs. Compounded medications are prescriptions and
medication orders that are written by physicians, veterinarians and
other legally authorized prescribers and prepared by specially trained
pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The company serves more than
30,000 prescribers and hundreds of thousands of patients throughout the
U.S.
Jennifer Jennings, Customer Care manager of Wedgewood Pharmacy, said,
“We care passionately about animal health, so helping veterinary
practices spend more time with their clients and patients and save time
writing prescriptions is something we take very seriously. We’re
grateful to our customers who helped us develop and test this new tool.
The response we’ve gotten already is extremely positive.”
Test users nearly unanimously prefer the Green Rabbit Rx e-prescribing
tool compared with the tool it replaces. One test user remarked in a
user survey, “I thought it was great. It made ordering fast and easy.
There are days when I will need to put three to four [prescription]
orders in and it will help save time for me.” Another commented that the
tool is “very easy to use, especially compared to some of your
competitors’ websites.”
