CELEBRATING E-PRESCRIPTION ACCURACY

Since 2016, pharmacies, health systems, electronic health records (EHR) vendors and pharmacy technology vendors across the Surescripts Network Alliance™ have worked together to improve e-prescription accuracy. In 2020, the Surescripts Network Alliance saw a 10% increase in the aggregated Quality Index Score for electronic prescriptions across the network – an 80% improvement since 2016. As a result, physicians and pharmacists spent less time exchanging phone calls and faxes to clarify prescriber intent. And the best part: this increased accuracy helped patients get the safe, effective care they deserve.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the 2020 Surescripts White Coat Award, which recognizes the continued efforts our customers are making to improve e-prescription accuracy. It also rewards leaders who have adopted best practices and technology enhancements that boost healthcare delivery.
