What is Surescripts?

Surescripts is a health information technology company primarily known for operating a nationwide electronic network that connects pharmacies, healthcare providers, and benefit managers. The primary purpose of this network is to enable the exchange of healthcare information, including prescribing and dispensing medications, to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of the healthcare system. Surescripts facilitates electronic prescriptions (e-prescribing), allowing doctors to send prescriptions directly to pharmacies electronically, reducing errors, and improving the speed of medication delivery.

Participants in the Surescripts network include a wide range of entities within the healthcare industry. These typically include pharmacies (both independent and chain pharmacies), health care providers (such as doctors and hospitals), pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and health information exchanges (HIEs). Essentially, any healthcare organization that handles prescriptions or medication management might be part of the Surescripts network.

The assessment of whether Surescripts is a “good” company can vary based on different criteria including service quality, impact on healthcare, business practices, and customer satisfaction. Surescripts has been recognized for increasing efficiency and safety in prescription medication delivery and for its role in enhancing the interoperability of health information technology. Evaluations might differ depending on individual experiences and the specific aspects of the company being considered.

Surescripts offers several features centered around the enhancement of the health information network, including:

  1. Electronic Prescribing: Allows providers to send prescriptions electronically to pharmacies, improving accuracy and speed.
  2. Medication History Services: Enables healthcare professionals to access a patient’s medication history and clinical documents to inform treatment decisions and enhance safety.
  3. Eligibility and Formulary Information: Provides real-time access to patient insurance and benefit data, helping providers know what medications are covered under a patient’s health plan.
  4. Clinical Messaging: Facilitates the secure exchange of clinical information between healthcare providers to coordinate quality care more effectively.
