The connection to SureScripts-RxHub allows physicians who e-prescribe using SequelMed® to access valuable real-time pharmacy and payer information before prescriptions are written, thereby reducing errors and increasing physician effectiveness. Before a physician or provider prepares an e-prescription, eligibility and formulary information will be provided through the SequelMed® application. With patient consent, medication history can also be provided. The connection to SureScripts-RxHub also allows prescribers to send new prescriptions electronically, directly to pharmacy computers – before a patient leaves their physician’s office.
