Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care Selects Authentidate's Inscrybe Healthcare Service to Optimize Care Order Exchanges with Referring Physicians

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure health information exchange, workflow management services and telehealth solutions, today announced that Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care, a full service oxygen and medical equipment company in Pennsylvania, has selected Authentidate's Inscrybe® Healthcare web-based service to improve communications with physicians by providing them with both electronic and fax options for processing care orders.

With several of their key referral sources requesting online eSignature solutions, Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care has chosen Authentidate's Inscrybe Healthcare Service as a way to simplify and automate the patient care order exchange process with referring physicians.

Authentidate's Inscrybe Healthcare Service allows all patient care documents to be available as a fax or electronically, allowing physicians, or their staff, to select how they prefer to communicate. Those who select the electronic option will log-in to a unified web-based platform to place new patient care orders or review any of their existing documents. While online, the physician can also update, complete and electronically sign patient care orders from any provider who subscribes to Inscrybe Healthcare.

"Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care decided to implement Inscrybe in order to improve our referring physician and office communications flexibility and to bring a new level of real-time process standardization to our back office operations," stated Chuck Aukamp, Executive Director of Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care. "We see Inscrybe as a community platform that more and more physicians are adopting to manage the ongoing exchange of patient care orders with home care suppliers, and we see using this service as a win-win for our physicians and our organization."

"We welcome Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care to the growing family of homecare organizations that use Inscrybe on a daily basis to optimize their care order management processes," said Marcus Wagstaff, National Sales Director of Authentidate Holding Corp. "With the ongoing transition from paper to electronic communications underway across its large referring physician community, Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care is able to better communicate with their physicians and improve operational efficiency through the use of the Inscrybe workflow platform."
