Surescripts Network Alliance
Trusted Health Intelligence Sharing.
Overview
Surescripts is not a standalone DUR tool but the foundational health information network that makes many DUR functions possible on a national scale. It connects virtually all EHRs, PBMs, pharmacies, and clinicians, enabling the secure transmission of e-prescriptions, medication history, prior authorization requests, and real-time benefit information. The data exchanged through the Surescripts network is what populates EHRs and pharmacy systems, allowing them to perform prospective DUR at the point of care.
