Geneva, Switzerland, 30 May, 2001 - DrGlobe.com launches e-prescriptions as an added feature in its Health Account Service

The Swiss-based online Health Account® service provider, DrGlobe.com, today announced the launch of its new e-prescriptions within the Health Account® Premium and the Health Account® Pro services. Physicians, pharmacists and patients will all gain time, cut costs and improve efficiency by using e-prescriptions. Increasing legibility of prescriptions (accurate dosing), cost containment, reducing errors, expediting drug refill processes are among the benefits that e-prescriptions bring. In DrGlobe.com's Health Account®, e-prescriptions are encrypted to ensure full security and confidentiality.

"Within our system, patients can easily pick up repeat prescriptions, pharmacists can plan delivery schedules and physicians can gain time with e-prescriptions," comments Mr. Ali Kursun, CEO of DrGlobe.com. "All the services within our Health Accounts® aim at connectivity, ease of use, reducing costs, and improving efficiency for all parties involved in health care."

The inclusion of e-prescriptions in Health Account® Premium is an added benefit free of cost for physicians, individuals and pharmacists. For the first time, DrGlobe.com's service is available not only to individuals and their physicians, but also to pharmacists. In addition to traditional channels, electronic prescriptions allow pharmacists to manage the time needed to handle incoming requests, to group requests and to have a history of client prescriptions.

DrGlobe.com believes that increasingly, the healthcare sector will turn towards internet-based solutions to assist in the process of cutting costs, saving time and improving efficiency. Flexibility of systems, such as DrGlobe.com's personalized grouping capability, will ensure that individuals take ownership over the appropriate management of their own healthcare, from looking at cost/benefit to the most effective therapies.

DrGlobe.com is a privately owned company based in Geneva, Switzerland, founded to provide cost-efficient and innovative health services on the web. DrGlobe.com offers interactive Health Account® services as a secure and confidential third party provider to different health care networks to host personal health information for individuals and patient data for physicians.
