Why should our pharmacy participate in Surescripts’ Medication History service?
Providing medication history information supports prescribers in making critical decisions that affect patient health. Sharing information strengthens the relationship between pharmacists and prescribers in the clinical process. Medication history information can be used to identify potentially dangerous drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions. Medication history information can provide feedback to prescribers about fill frequencies and compliance. Medication history - as used in the prescribing process - empowers prescribers to make higher quality decisions about prescription choices that are then delivered to the pharmacy of the patient's choice.
