Message from CEO Tom Skelton

In addition to continuing to support the Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts in Texas and Louisiana, Surescripts deployed a team to explore how we can help with the response to Hurricane Irma. Today, we are proud to share that we have again joined forces with Allscripts and a number of other organizations to expand the availability of medication history data to pharmacists in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. With millions of people displaced, this tool will help inform pharmacists who need to deliver medications to patients outside of normal circumstances.

We will continue to share relevant information and updates through our special Hurricane Irma webpage at www.surescripts.com/Irma.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Support at 1-866-797-3239 or support@surescripts.com.

Message from CEO Tom Skelton

Hurricane Harvey has caused catastrophic destruction across Texas and Louisiana. As the waters subside, the devastation is overwhelming and recovery will require national collaboration. Amongst the many issues faced is the fact that prescribing patterns have been disrupted across the region with thousands of patients displaced and many care locations still closed due to massive flooding.

In response, Surescripts assembled a team to focus on our efforts to aid recovery wherever possible. We activated our disaster plan to ensure that our pharmacy directory is up to date and that providers remember to use medication history information via their EHR to help recover prescription information. We have been providing data and insights on prescribing activity in the area to the federal government to help inform their response plans. And, we have partnered with Allscripts to provide free access to patient-specific medication history data for pharmacists in Texas and Louisiana for a limited time so they have the information they need to make the most informed prescription decisions for patients, regardless of their location or care setting (see news release).
