Surescripts Publishes Guidance for Electronic Prescriptions
Surescripts has released “Guidelines for Creating High-Quality Electronic Prescriptions In The Ambulatory Healthcare Setting,” (PDF) a document that “attempts to set the measurement standard against which electronic prescriptions can be assessed for accuracy and completeness” as noted on the Surescripts Web site. Surescripts intends the document to offer guidance to prescribers and their staffs, and e-prescribing and electronic medical record software vendors, and to serve as a resource for community pharmacists, their staffs, and their local prescribers. The document provides key principles and best practices for the writing of prescription orders – particularly, new electronic prescriptions – to help ensure that electronic prescriptions convey to the pharmacist and the patient the clinician’s therapeutic intent in an accurate, understandable, complete, unambiguous, and efficient manner.
