Clinical Messaging
Surescripts Clinical Messaging service permits physicians
as well as pharmacists on the Surescripts network to
exchange various types of clinical information. The initial
implementation of the service makes use of the Continuity of
Care Record (CCR) and PDF-Healthcare (PDF-H) standards.
Using these standards, pharmacy in-store clinics are able to
securely, electronically share clinical summaries of patient
visits with a patient’s physician. Surescripts is working
with electronic medical record vendors to certify EMR
software for the Clinical Messaging service. This will allow
physicians using certified software to receive fully
electronic encounter summaries into their electronic medical
records system. Over time, the Clinical Messaging service
will not only provide access to clinical summaries of
patient visits to in-store clinics, but other provider
facilities as well (e.g. other physician’s offices and
hospitals).
