New Surescripts Service<br />
Facilitating the Interoperability<br />
of Medication Histories<br />
Organization Overview<br />
• Surescripts connects healthcare organizations,<br />
pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), pharmacies,<br />
and technology partners through the interoperability<br />
of medication information to enhance care delivery<br />
• The company is technology-neutral, integrating<br />
into existing healthcare applications and workflows<br />
• Surescripts partners with over 700 EHR applications,<br />
over 1,000 hospitals, and over 1 million healthcare<br />
professionals, processing more than 9.7 billion<br />
transactions each year<br />
Background<br />
For accountable care to thrive, providers must advance<br />
the aggregation and analysis of patient data across<br />
a range of sources to inform clinical decisions. Panel<br />
Management is a new interoperability solution from<br />
Surescripts that empowers population health by connecting<br />
healthcare organizations with high quality batch<br />
download medication data for patient populations,<br />
sourced from a nationwide network of pharmacies<br />
and PBMs.<br />
Hospital executives are acutely aware of the importance<br />
of medication data interoperability for managing<br />
population health. In a 2016 Health Catalyst survey,<br />
80% of hospital executives believed that predictive<br />
analytics could significantly enhance care delivery.<br />
However, 32% of hospital executives indicated that lack<br />
of appropriate data and infrastructure is the top barrier<br />
to successful implementation of predictive analytics. 1<br />
Product Details<br />
Panel Management facilitates nationwide interoperability<br />
across PBMs, pharmacies, integrated delivery<br />
networks, accountable care organizations, analytics<br />
vendors, and EHR vendors.<br />
For this product, Surescripts delivers holistic batch<br />
medication history data of entire patient populations<br />
to customer organizations, giving them insight into<br />
patients’ health during gaps between clinical care visits.<br />
This data offers the following advantages:<br />
• Provides more timely data (lags by 24-36 hours)<br />
than data historically used by providers<br />
• Provides greater data breadth (coverage) and<br />
depth (number of discrete data points) than the<br />
data historically used by providers<br />
• Allows patient data to be identifiable and easily<br />
ingestible into EHR and analytics platforms<br />
Healthcare organizations can use this data to:<br />
• Identify opportunities to reduce avoidable<br />
hospital admissions<br />
• More accurately risk triage patient populations<br />
• Improve adherence<br />
• Identify controlled substance abuse<br />
• Identify gaps in care<br />
