Surescripts
Advancing health intelligence.
Overview
Surescripts operates the nation's largest clinical health information network. While they don't offer a drug interaction checker themselves, their network is the plumbing that enables this functionality in other systems. Their Medication History service provides the comprehensive data that EHRs and other tools use to perform accurate interaction checks at the point of care. Their e-prescribing network transmits prescriptions that have already been checked for interactions.
