Partnership Expands PDR’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) Network by More than 17,000 New Prescribers
MONTVALE, NJ/HOUSTON, TX – July 31, 2012 –PDR Network® today announced a new strategic partnership with NewCrop, LLC to incorporate PDR’s critical drug services into NewCrop’s leading electronic prescribing platform, best-in-class technology relied on by more than 160 EHRs and 27,000 healthcare professionals.
“PDR Network has consistently demonstrated leadership in disseminating critical drug information and innovation in developing products and services to deliver that information in ways that best meet the needs of healthcare professionals,” said Dr. Lawrence Susnow, President, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, NewCrop. “Integrating PDR interactive drug services into our ePrescribing platform enables us to provide updated drug information, safety alerts, medication adherence and product support programs at the point of prescribing, enhancing the ePrescribing experience to benefit healthcare professionals and their patients.”
