SureScripts will work with Physician Micro Systems (PMSI) to certify Practice Partner Patient Records for connection to the SureScripts network, which aims to protect a physician’s choice of therapy and a patient’s choice of pharmacy.
Once certified, the network connection will enable the physicians using PMSI’s electronic health records (EHR) solution, which includes an electronic prescribing module, to exchange prescription data with pharmacies active on the SureScripts network.
PMSI hopes that the collaboration will improve the efficiency of its prescription process, as Kevin Hutchinson, SureScripts’ CEO, explains: By connecting to the SureScripts network, PMSI will enable thousands of physicians to increase office efficiency, save time and, most important, improve patient safety.
