Surescripts, a health information network, supports e-prescription, or electronically transmitting prescriptions between healthcare organizations and pharmacies. Under the new certification, physicians using Zipnosis’ virtual care platform will be able to view a patient’s medication history information from pharmacy benefit managers and community pharmacies.
Surescripts officials said the service will help to inform its physicians of patients’ current and past prescriptions to account for potential adverse drug interactions when prescribing medications.
