Prestigious international annual awards program recognizes standout digital health & medical technology, products, and companies
Charlotte, NC – May 9, 2024 – Emporos, the industry’s leading Pharmacy Commerce System including Point of Sale, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Best Pharmacy Commerce System” award in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards. The program is conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.
Emporos provides commerce solutions for multiple segments within the pharmacy industry, including enterprise-wide integrated delivery network (IDN) hospital systems, specialty, mail order, grocery, and community chain pharmacies. Integrating with Pharmacy Management Systems (PMS) systems, the all-in-one Emporos system enables more efficient workflows, higher patient throughput, reduced regulatory liabilities, and an improved patient experience.
With their cloud- and browser-based mobile point of sale, Emporos delivers new, yet familiar, methods of mobile payment and Rx retrieval experiences, such as bedside and curbside delivery, drive thru, line-busting, and mail out. The cloud functionality also supports offline mode, and data is never lost. Emporos also seamlessly integrates payments into their platform. This improves security by protecting cardholder data and tracking sales of controlled substances aligned with NPLEx, while also enabling improved sales reporting, higher patient capture, faster bed turnover, vendor consolidation, lower readmission rates, and increased collections and revenue capture.
The company’s latest offering, text- and email-to-pay , allows patients to pay for medications via their mobile phone. The result is a more streamlined check-out process, reduction in long lines, and real-time updates on prescription readiness.
“We’re driven to create solutions that extend beyond the four walls of the pharmacy storefront. For decades, healthcare commerce has lagged behind other industries, resulting in challenges like long lines, prescription delays, inventory discrepancies, and more. Healthcare commerce should be safe and simple,” said Eric Kristensen, CEO at Emporos. “This award from MedTech Breakthrough is a testament of our commitment to enhancing the pharmacy experience. By streamlining processes and being wherever your patients need you to be – in store, at bedside, online, and more – we increase patient capture, safety, and satisfaction, while also saving costs.”
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work, and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data & Privacy, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 18 different countries throughout the world.
“Emporos is transforming pharmacy commerce, leading the transition to digital payments in the pharmacy market. Although we live in a world of one-click checkout for almost every purchase, pharmacy transactions can take weeks, multiple phone calls, and reams of paper,” said Steve Johansson, managing director of MedTech Breakthrough. “Emporos is modernizing pharmacy and healthcare commerce to deliver a safe and simple experience for both pharmacies and their patients through innovative solutions. We’re so pleased to award them with 2024’s ‘Best Pharmacy Commerce System.’”
