This commitment means prescribers and pharmacists are spending less time clarifying the prescriber’s intent and more time focused on what matters most – the patients in their care.”

The 2024 Surescripts White Coat Award recognizes health systems, pharmacies, pharmacy technology vendors and electronic health records (EHR) vendors that help deliver clear and accurate electronic prescriptions, eliminate confusion and time-consuming phone calls and faxes, and give patients better access to the medications they need. Winners are recognized for excellence in three categories:

  • Highest Performance: best overall performance score across e-prescriptions
  • RxChange Champion: successfully advancing the RxChange transaction, which lets pharmacies communicate with prescribers to resolve prescription concerns within their electronic workflow.
  • Innovation: driving performance optimization across the healthcare continuum, ensuring prescribers and pharmacists can provide quality care to patients in a timely manner.

In 2023, Surescripts processed 2.5 billion e-prescriptions, 204.1 million CancelRx Requests and 34.6 million RxChange Requests.

Surescripts continues to improve electronic prescribing with innovations like Sig IQ technology that translates free-text patient directions into a quality-controlled, clinically validated format in order to protect prescriber intent and patient safety. This capability was originally developed to enhance medication histories, Sig IQ expanded to add a Structured & Codified Sig to 1.4 million RxRenewal Requests sent by pharmacies in Q4 2023, allowing prescribers to approve these requests in fewer keystrokes.
