RelayHealth, a provider of healthcare connectivity services, has achieved full accreditation with the e-Prescribing Accreditation Program (ePAP) from the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC). This accreditation demonstrates the operational integrity of companies that use e-prescribing by ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations, accommodation of industry standards, and proper use of relevant formats.
“We are pleased that our electronic and fax-based prescribing transactions have passed EHNAC’s rigorous ePAP accreditation process,” said Jeff Felton, president of RelayHealth’s Pharmacy Solutions. “The accreditation is a seal of approval that underscores RelayHealth’s strong commitment to industry data standards and privacy and security of prescription data and processing.”
EHNAC evaluated RelayHealth’s electronic prescribing and fax-based prescribing transactions in the areas of confidentiality enforcement, level-of-service and escalation procedures, outcome-related metrics, security infrastructures and the ability to comply with industry-standard data formats.
