Taking Friction Out of the Prescription Process with Surescripts Real-time Prescription Benefit - Dr. Andrew Mellin

Andrew is now the CMO for SureScripts, which all of us know as the pharmacy interface vendor that connects our EMRs to the pharmacies.  But they do more than that.  Today we discuss how SureScripts helps doctors and patients understand the out of pocket costs of medications at the time of prescribing (Real Time Prescription Benefits), using pharmacy information in population health, simplifying electronic prior authorization of medications, and how to get those recalcitrant docs away from printing their scripts!
