NEW YORK, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ramp Corporation (AMEX:RCO) today announced that its wholly-owned HealthRamp subsidiary has been chosen as a corporate affiliate to offer its electronic prescribing solution to Maine Medical Association ("MMA") members. The MMA is a voluntary association of over 2,600 Maine physicians serving the profession and the public since 1853. Ramp Corporation, through its wholly owned HealthRamp subsidiary, develops and markets the CarePoint suite of technologies. CarePoint enables electronic prescribing, lab orders and results, Internet-based communication, data integration and transaction processing over a handheld device or browser, at the point-of-care.
"We are very selective when it comes to choosing vendors for our Corporate Affiliate Program. We believe CarePoint offers our members the opportunity to experience the added benefits of point-of-care technology with minimal workflow changes or financial commitment," stated Gordon Smith, Executive Vice President of the Maine Medical Association. "CarePoint's electronic prescribing technology provides our physicians with a low-risk, high-value proposition. As CarePoint's suite of technologies grows over time, our physicians will be able to migrate towards a complete electronic health record solution, on their own individualized schedule. HealthRamp's 2005 plans to expand its CarePoint technology suite to include charge capture and lab orders and results is the first step in this exciting evolution," concluded Mr. Smith.
"We are enthusiastic about the Maine Medical Association's recognition of CarePoint as a corporate affiliate for electronic prescribing software. Their appreciation of our long-term approach to providing an integrated and comprehensive point-of-care solution is a strong validation of our strategy. Maine Medical's goal of exposing its members to powerful solutions for their daily practice of medicine makes our partnership highly complementary," stated Andrew Brown, Ramp CEO and President.
