Care Everywhere + Surescripts Record Location = More Complete Patient Story

Wouldn’t you love to know all the other places your patients have been seen when they show up in your emergency department or office? Surescripts identifies other places outside the health system where the patient has been seen and Care Everywhere presents a summary within the physician’s workflow.

For St. Louis, MO-based SSM Health, pairing Surescripts NRLS with Care Everywhere interoperability “enables the care team to access valuable clinical information from other providers who have previously treated the patient, regardless of where they received care or the electronic health record software used,” said Richard Vaughn, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer. “By having a more complete care history, we can make faster and better decisions, avoid reordering expensive tests and help ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.” This gives more than 10,000 SSM Health clinicians in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Illinois a more complete story, regardless of where the patient received care.
