In the News: Closing the Healthcare Loop

Filled or abandoned? Prescribers don’t always know what happens after they write their patient a new prescription. We can fill in the blanks.

Frank Harvey, Chief Executive Officer for Surescripts, explores a critical gap in healthcare connectivity: What happens after a patient is prescribed a new medication?

He explains:

• 27% of new prescriptions are never filled at the pharmacy¹, yet providers often don't discover this until much later.
• Healthcare interoperability is no longer the challenge at hand—it’s time to turn that information into intelligence clinicians can use.
• Timely prescription fill information can help providers take action to improve medication adherence.
