How do electronic prescribing applications that are certified to connect to the Surescripts network differ from other electronic prescribing applications?
Some electronic prescribing applications are connected to pharmacies by fax, and these systems provide no ability for pharmacies to send renewal authorization requests directly to physician practice computers. Faxed prescriptions cannot help to ease the burden of time-consuming telephone and fax transmissions currently associated with these requests. These fax-based systems also lack a connection to payers, which means you are not able to access patient prescription benefit or prescription history information. Electronic prescribing software from Surescripts Solution Providers allow physicians, pharmacies and payers to clearly and securely communicate and share information.
