“We are thrilled the NCPDP Foundation has accepted our grant proposal to leverage the SCRIPT standard as we explore extending the powerful capabilities of ePrescribing to the veterinary market,” said Adam Forman, COO of D.A.W. Systems. “Using this standard marks a new frontier in this industry, and this initiative is a significant step toward much-needed standardization in veterinary prescribing.”
“Workflow improvements resulting from wide adoption of ePrescribing solutions including the veterinary sector could increase collaboration between practices and pharmacies. For the millions of homes with pets, this could mean greater convenience, shorter wait times, and an overall better experience,” said J.W. Hill, MBAHCM, CNED, Executive Director of the NCPDP Foundation. “For the 120,000 veterinarians nationwide, the positive impact would be significant.”
This grant was made possible with support from the GoodRx Access to Care Founders Donor Fund and the NCPDP Foundation General Grant Fund. The project aligns with all four of the NCPDP Foundation’s strategic initiatives
“GoodRx is pleased to support this program designed to make it easier and more efficient for veterinarians to prescribe much-needed pet medications,” said Preeti Parikh, MD, Executive Medical Director, GoodRx. “Migrating veterinary prescribing systems to leverage current technology should result in improved access to medications for pet owners and better health outcomes for their pet family members.”
