How does electronic prescribing via the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange operated by SureScripts benefit physicians, pharmacists and patients?
The Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, operated by SureScripts, operated by SureScripts, allows the simple and secure transmission of prescription data in a ‘true’ electronic format – between the computers at the pharmacy and computers at the physician practice. This greatly reduces the need for phone calls, faxes and paper prescriptions from the prescribing process. Physicians, pharmacists and patients all benefit from: • Increased efficiency: Time spent phoning and faxing to clarify prescriptions and authorize renewal requests is minimized. Doctors and pharmacists enjoy more time to counsel patients. • Increased safety: Potential errors due to misread prescriptions or medications with similar sounding names are reduced. • Increased convenience: Renewal authorizations can be reviewed and responded to in much less time than with phone or fax. New prescriptions are sent directly to the pharmacy computer, quickly, accurately and securely.
