SURESCRIPTS CERTIFICATION

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

In order to electronically route prescriptions and search patient specific eligibility, formulary, and medication history, your application must achieve Surescripts certification.  Even when integrating with a Surescripts certified vendor such as DoseSpot, Surescripts still requires a quick certification meeting to “go live”.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SURESCRIPTS CERTIFICATION?

When using DoseSpot, your application will have to pass a quick screen demo test that includes different validation scenarios and the ability to send Surescripts messages appropriately in the backend.

WHAT’S THE MINIMUM FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU NEED TO PASS?

If you are using DoseSpot’s e-prescribing application, the minimum functionality to pass Surescripts certification is the following:

- Method to pop the DoseSpot application in a browser from your application (using credentials & passing your patient information) and receive the DoseSpotPatientID back from DoseSpot.

- Prescribe within DoseSpot (nothing you need to do here)

- Use the DoseSpot API to check for refill requests and transmission errors in DoseSpot and provide a link within your software to DoseSpot for fulfillment.

- Appropriately validate a patient’s demographic information before sending it to DoseSpot
