Benefits of Clinical Interoperability

Empowering Collaborations in Care

The Surescripts Network for Clinical Interoperability supports timely sharing of vital health information enabling care collaboration and care coordination while helping to improve the quality of care in a cost efficient manner.

Benefits for EHR Vendors, HIEs, and IDNs:

Surescripts' suite of clinical interoperability solutions provides an on-ramp for EHR vendors, HIEs and IDNs that wish to connect their affiliated physicians and health care providers to Surescripts' national clinical network. By doing so, you will allow your providers to see their messaging capability transform from local to national, in a manner that integrates well with their current workflows and network experience.

Benefits for Healthcare Providers:

Sharing health information with your patient's care team can take up a lot of your time, as well as the resources of your office. Surescripts' clinical interoperability solutions help by allowing physicians and other health care providers to securely send and receive clinical information electronically with peers locally, regionally and nationally. Information you can securely share over the Surescripts network includes:

  • Discharge Summaries
  • Patient charts
  • Continuity of Care Documents
  • Referrals, Structured & Unstructured Notes
  • Medication History
  • Lab Results
  • Immunization Records

Physicians can get up to speed prior to meeting the patient and spend more of her visit focused on care.
