San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 5, 2004 -- IQMax and Script IQ announced today at the MGMA Conference in San Francisco the signing of a strategic partnership with a focus on the mobile enablement and the collaborative marketing of Script IQ’s prescription ordering, medication management and formulary solutions with IQMax’s enterprise mobile platform and solutions.
The uniting of these two organizations’ solutions will provide key enhancements to the already significant patient safety, risk management and work flow enhancing value of each company’s products. “The merging of IQMax’s innovative mobile technology with Script IQ’s industry leading medication management platform reflects on both organizations strategy of providing “best of breed” solutions to our customers.” says Paul Adkison, CEO of IQMax.
“Many of the over 6,000 Script IQ users have been requesting the ability to utilize our connectivity, prescribing and formulary management tools from a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA),” remarked Marc Lilly, CEO of Script IQ. “Large medical groups have embraced Script IQ largely due to its evolutionary and sensible approach to medication management solutions. This relationship represents the next “evolutionary” step in our product offering. The challenge with the majority of the available mobile platforms is their inabilities to reliably provide true anywhere, anytime performance for both the small to medium clinics and the enterprise acute environments. The IQMax mobile platform was the obvious choice based on its proven capabilities that far exceeded other available mobile technologies.”
