Who is Surescripts?
SureScripts was founded in 2001 by the two associations that represent over 55,000 pharmacies in the United States – the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) and the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA). SureScripts is the largest network provider of electronic prescribing services. SureScripts is committed to building relationships within the health care community and working collaboratively with key industry stakeholders and organizations to improve the safety, efficiency and quality of health care by improving the overall prescribing process. At the core of this improvement effort is the Pharmacy Health Information Exchange, operated by SureScripts, a health care infrastructure which establishes electronic communications between pharmacists and physicians and enables the two-way electronic exchange of prescription information. Today, SureScripts has signed agreements, tested and certified the software of pharmacies and pharmacy technology vendors.
