ScriptRx, a provider of touch screen electronic medical record (EMR) systems, has entered into partnership with Star Micronics to use TSP800IIRx printers for its emergency rooms and urgent care center customers.

ScriptRx said it will integrate the printers in its new tablet (iPad) based EMR system.

The TSP800IIRx is a wide-format POS printer which is capable of printing 37 prescriptions per minute and features a locking mechanism to secure any sensitive roll of paper.

ScriptRx CEO Tim Coffield said, "The printer’s wireless functionality will be embraced by urgent care operators who will not have to equip each exam room with computer hardware, as they will use ScriptRx’s EMR on their iPads and transport the wireless prescription printer from room-to-room."

Star Micronics marketing director Christophe Naasz said the company’s partnership with ScriptRx will provide urgent care centers and emergency departments with the ability to easily print prescriptions for patients.

"The secure and locking feature of the TSP800IIRx is specifically important for many doctors and patients, and will be a great addition to the ScriptRx EMR system," Naasz added.
