Pharmacy-to-pharmacy transfers have long meant faxes, phone calls and patients waiting for their medications. Electronic prescription transfer with RxTransfer changes that. Hear from Surescripts and Walmart leaders on what it means as more pharmacies connect.
Key takeaways
Larry King, Surescripts: A pharmacist by background, King has spent days of his career on hold, waiting for another pharmacist to pick up. RxTransfer replaces the phone call with a secure electronic transaction.
Steve Brill, Walmart: E-prescribing connects prescribers and pharmacies to get patients their medications. Until RxTransfer, pharmacies had no electronic connection with each other to help a patient find a prescription and get it filled somewhere else.
Darren Townsend, Walmart: RxTransfer took shape through close work between Surescripts, Walmart and other pharmacies. The result is a more efficient, safer way to move a prescription to where the patient needs it.
