19 healthcare orgs join Surescripts network
Surescripts is adding 19 state health information exchanges (HIEs) and health information service providers (HISPs) to its network. The new connections will facilitate clinical data sharing across local and regional care communities for improved care coordination, according to its Aug. 13 announcement. The network supports Direct and other security standards and initiatives.
“The continued growth of the Surescripts network is driven by the fact that healthcare communities are realizing that electronic health information exchange is necessary to transform the way healthcare is delivered at the patient level and the increasingly rapid implementation of the federal government’s Meaningful Use guidelines,” said Harry Totonis, president and chief executive officer of Surescripts, in the announcement.
