Los Angeles, California March 13, 2013- Code Amber AlertagTM,
a GTX Corp business unit GTX
Corp(GTXO),along with Community Care
RX, which provides pharmacy
services to long term care facilities throughout New York and Long Island, recently started working together to implement the
Alertag Personal Health Record platform into their processes. This fortuitous
collaboration will result with an initial rollout for 1,000 residents and a
custom Community Care branded web portal scheduled for delivery and launch next
month. With the Alertag direct interface to RX providers, GTX automates the
Alertag database whenever a resident's medication changes or is updated which
facilitates and accelerates the treatment and care of those in need, while
increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
“We decided to utilize the medical Alertag because we
are in the business of saving lives. Community Care Rx is the first LTC (Long Term Care) pharmacy to implement the Alertag Personal Health
Record platform into our processes. We believe that having the updated medical
information through the Alertag direct interface database whenever a resident
is in an emergency setting will help the medical provider with vital medical
history. Including emergency point of contact, medication and medication interaction,
allergies, medical history for residents suffering from Alzheimer's, Anemia,
Asthma, Autism, Dementia, Diabetes, Epileptic Seizures, Mental
Impairment and host of other conditions,” said Hossam A. Maksoud
Community Care CEO.
In
furtherance of its mission, GTX Corp’s seamless interface between RX providers
and patients that automatically updates the Alertag database whenever a
resident's medication changes or a new prescription is filled follows the
current trends in healthcare data management. As Dr. Michael Swiernik, UCLA
Director of Medical Information has recently stated, "A
big part of where the government is going is to try to make the data flow more
freely amongst providers and hospitals so that your data goes with you instead
of staying with the hospital or doctor.”
GTX
Corp is positioning itself at the forefront of this emerging Personal Health
Record (“PHR”) market, which is being bolstered by the Government’s mandate to
modernize data management and shift the ownership of health records back to the
individual. In fact, the Federal Government has recently budgeted $19.2B of
stimulus money to help defray the cost of this modernization.
“We
are excited about our new partnership with Community Care RX and look forward
to helping them implant our cost saving PHR platform,” stated Bryant Harper President of the Code
Amber Alertag business unit.
The
Company has already identified dozens of facilities that operate in a manner
similar to Community Care RX that can benefit from implementing this
patent-pending solution and with an annual cost of less than thirty dollars per
resident, the value proposition of this product and service is readily evident
to these types of institutions and creates a stream of recurring revenues for
the Company.
Similar
to a loyalty card you might receive from a local supermarket, the Alertag
features a QR code that grants immediate access to vital medical history. When
the QR code is scanned by a Smartphone or any electronic device with scanning
capability, a link will open showing the Alertag holder’s general medical
history.
In
addition to medical facilities utilizing the Alertag system, individuals
suffering from ADD/ADHD, Alzheimer's, diabetes, anemia, asthma, Autism,
dementia, allergies, epileptic seizures,
mental impairment, and many other conditions, will benefit from having an
Alertag, hence the broader appeal and marketability of the Alertag system to the general consumer.
