To utilize the Surescripts network, prescribers, pharmacies and PBMs must use software that has completed the Surescripts certification process. This process ensures that the software is able to send and receive electronic messages and share prescription information in accordance with industry standards and that it provides open choice for medication selection and dispensing location. Additionally, certification focuses on patient safety, efficiency of the electronic prescribing process and ease of use by end users.
One of the foundations of e-prescribing growth in the U.S. is the work that Surescripts has done over the past seven years certifying the software applications of every major e-prescribing and electronic health record vendor. As of July 2010, approximately 300 applications have been certified by Surescripts to enable physicians- software to access prescription information and route prescriptions electronically.
