SureScripts offers online prescription data

Physician Practice Advisor, February 15, 2006

SureScripts, which operates an electronic prescribing network, announced on Monday plans to provide physicians in six states with online access to patients' medication histories, according to a Reuters report. With a patient's permission, a doctor will have access to information about previous medicines, dosages, and whether prescriptions are being filled and refilled.

SureScripts plans to launch the free service April 1 in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Nevada, Tennessee, New Jersey, and Florida, and to have it running in at least 10 states by the end of the year.

SureScripts is a joint venture of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, which includes Walgreen Co., CVS Corp., and the National Community Pharmacists Association, which represents independent drug stores.
