WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(Business Wire)-- Two days after the Super Bowl in Tampa, a rising healthcare technology company, ScriptRx will be in a contest of its own -- attracting venture capital investment. The West Palm Beach company is one of only nineteen Florida companies to receive the coveted invitation to the 25th Annual Florida Venture Forum in Naples, Florida. It`s a major event for high-growth companies seeking equity financing before a nationwide audience of venture capitalists and investment bankers. ScriptRx provides software systems to the "walk in" ambulatory sector of healthcare, including emergency rooms, urgent care centers, and retail health clinics. The user-friendly touch-screen technology allows physicians to print electronic prescriptions, discharge instructions and follow-up orders. While ScriptRx's systems are currently in over 200 emergency rooms across the country, the company, under the leadership of Dr. Timothy Coffield, is raising capital to develop and launch technology targeting the expanding market of urgent care centers. "Our goal in the next five years is to have 35 percent of the urgent care market using ScriptRx software," said Coffield, the company's chief executive officer. "The system is tailored towards walk-in ambulatory care," Coffield said. "The easy to use touch-screen technology lends itself to this fast-paced, hectic, think fast on your feet environment." The company is nearing completion of its all new Web-based version of ScriptRx. Add-on modules for urgent care centers will include a registration module, which will allow patients to register online, in advance of their visit. A dispensing module will help doctors distribute prepackaged containers of common medications. A third module will provide an electronic medical record (EMR) system focused on the unique situational needs of an urgent care encounter. Among those eagerly awaiting the new system are Dr. Neil Morandi, president of MedExpress Urgent Care's facilities in Florida, and Dr. Evan Goldstein, an emergency physician at Boca Raton Community Hospital. Both men are longtime ScriptRx customers who praise the system for its efficiency and accuracy. With the Boca Hospital's estimated 45,000 patient visits a year, cutting down on confusion about physicians' handwriting is another blessing, Goldstein said. "The pharmacies know exactly what we want the patients to have because it's in black and white," he said.
