Ateb, Secure Exchange Solutions to incorporate Direct Secure Messaging into patient care

ROCKVILLE, M.D. — Ateb, Inc. announced Friday that it will partner with Secure Exchange Solutions to integrate Direct Secure Messaging into its pharmacy products.

The provider of pharmacy-based patient care solutions will use the messaging service to facilitate the communication between its 500,000 active patients and their prescribers. Secure Exchange will allow healthcare providers access to electronic health records.

Most hospitals and physicians already use Direct Secure Messaging. By adding pharmacies to the conversation, Ateb will not only streamline communication among providers, but it will also encourage pharmacies to participate more in patient care.

“Including pharmacies in the patient care management process empowers them to improve patient adherence and drive healthier outcomes,” Frank Sheppard, president and CEO of Ateb, said.
