How can I prescribe electronically over the Surescripts network?
Physicians interested in e-prescribing must use e-prescribing software or an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) that has been certified to connect to the Surescripts network. Surescripts certifies software used by prescribers for access to the three core services: Prescription Benefit, Prescription History, and Prescription Routing.
If your practice already has an EMR system, it is likely that your system has been certified by Surescripts. You simply need to contact your vendor representative and ask about getting connected to the Surescripts network for access to our Prescription Benefit, Medication History, and Prescription Routing services.
If you do not yet have an EMR or e-prescribing software in your practice, you will need to acquire a solution that fits your practice needs. A comprehensive list e-prescribing technologies that have been certified by Surescripts is available on our web site.
