Surescripts
Comprehensive patient information can powerfully influence care
Providers need comprehensive patient history at the point of care to deliver top-quality, coordinated care and help prevent patient safety issues. By accessing the information seamlessly via their electronic workflow, they'll also have more time to focus on patient encounters.
Patient safety is paramount.
Medication errors and adverse drug events are more likely to occur when patient history is incomplete.
Up to 59% of medication history errors during admission are clinically important.1
Two out of three adverse drug events in skilled nursing facilities are preventable.2
Providers lack crucial information.
The absence of complete patient data can negatively impact follow-up appointments, as well as the overall transition to value-based care.
12–34% of hospital discharge summaries don’t reach outpatient care teams in time for the patient’s first follow-up visit.3
85% of healthcare organizations say better interoperability solutions are needed for value-based care.4
