Clinical Interoperability
Inform treatment with shared clinical intelligence
Access more patient insights & easier communication
When patient information is out of reach or out of sight, danger emerges. The hard work of tracking down missing details adds to an epidemic of clinician burnout. The need for interoperability and clinical information sharing is more urgent than ever.
That’s why the Surescripts Network Alliance is making interoperability an everyday reality. Together, we inform treatment and transitions of care by giving clinicians and care managers more patient insights and better communication channels.
