Transaction Data Systems, developers of the Rx30 pharmacy management system, will now provide integration with PharmaSmart's Internet-enabled blood pressure screening systems to assist in detection and management of hypertension. PharmaSmart's "smart card" technology and interoperable network allow the patient, physician, and pharmacist to work in coordination to optimize patient care.

Steve Wubker, president of Transaction Data Systems, says, "Rx30's integration with PharmaSmart provides important and immediate clinical feedback directly within Rx30 and through Web connectivity, greatly enhancing clinical care, not only pertaining to hypertension, but also cholesterol, glucose, and body mass index. Recognizing the importance of pharmacist involvement in the medication therapy management process, PharmaSmart provides a valuable tool in the coordination of care and proactive management based on system integration assets."
