History
editFounded in 1999 in Maryland by Randy Boldyga (as Networking Technology Inc.), RXNT initially operated out of a basement to "keep our overhead expenses low" before moving to its first headquarters in 2006.[1] The company has been headquartered in Annapolis, MD since its incorporation on May 27, 1999[2] and in October 2000, RXNT began beta testing its flagship electronic prescription system with pharmacies and prescribers in the surrounding area.[3]
In December 2003, RXNT received $150,000 in funding from the Anne Arundel County Economic Development Corporation's "Arundel Business Loan Fund" to expand the business.[4]
In 2004, RXNT acquired the user base and technology of Script-Fast Inc, a prescription processing system located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.[5]
In November 2007, RXNT was nominated for and received the Anne Arundel Tech Council's "Innovator Award" at the annual TechAwards.[6][7]
In 2009, RXNT was the first product certified in the "CCHIT Certified 2011 Comprehensive" program for stand-alone electronic prescribing (ePrescribing),[8][9] and in 2014, RXNT launched the first EPCS-Certified E-Prescribing mobile application for Android devices.[10] In 2017, RXNT EHR 7.2 achieved the 2015 Edition certification from the Drummond Group, a testing and compliance organization for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Authorized Certification Body.[11]
Software
editRXNT develops, supports, and sells proprietary healthcare software applications with the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for healthcare professionals and organizations, including Electronic Health Records, Practice management, Patient Scheduling, Medical Billing, Electronic Prescribing, medical Revenue cycle management, and Patient portal.[1]
The e-prescribing system provides information about allergies and potential drug interactions, and medication history.[12]
Partnerships
editRXNT partnered with RxHub LLC in 2002, one of the first electronic Health information exchanges (HIE) in the United States.[13] When Surescripts, operator of the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, formed the Prescriber Vendor Advisory Council in 2007,[14][15] COO Mark Wiggins was one of ten executives on the advisory council. After RxHub merged with Surescripts in 2008,[16] RXNT was granted Surescripts Platinum Solution Provider status alongside NextGen EHR.[17]
In February 2003, RXNT partnered with Medysis to provide pharmacies with application service provider (ASP) access to electronic prescriptions.[18]
OhioHealth chose RXNT to provide electronic prescription services for its 2,300 member physicians in 2007.[19][20]
In 2008, RXNT partnered with Medco to offer free e-prescribing training and software during a pilot program of 500 physicians studying the impact of e-prescribing on patient safety, generic drug use, and formulary compliance of the Medicare population.[21][22]
