"We are excited to enter into this Binding Letter of Intent to acquire the companies that developed technology and led the consortium to conduct the first prescription drug monitoring pilot project in real time in the United States. For this project to have been conducted in two counties, Harlan and Perry, in the Appalachian Region of Eastern Kentucky, we could not be more proud to make this announcement.".
"All parties to this binding letter of intent will be working a fast track to complete the necessary steps with the attorney's, accountants and auditors by the end of this quarter We anticipate additional announcements prior to June 30th".
The pilot project was successfully conducted at medical, clinical, and pharmacy facilities in Kentucky's Perry and Harlan counties on a voluntary basis, under a contract with the Commonwealth of Kentucky. "The revolutionary Veriscrip(TM) technology provides immediate ('real time') data delivery when the practitioner writes the prescription and again when it is filled by the pharmacist. The information is conveyed instantly to the regulator. Real-time reporting dramatically reduces an investigation of potential diversion from weeks and months to minutes," Millard emphasized. "In addition, the positive results of real-time monitoring will significantly improve patient care by preventing drug-drug interaction and by eliminating the risk of misread prescriptions, while assuring patient privacy protection and compliance with all HIPAA requirements."
