DAVISON, Mich. - Universal Software Solutions has announced that Healthcare Data Management System is now certified by Surescripts for E-Prescribing and Directories, allowing users to receive compound drug prescriptions and allergy information, and submit prescription change requests. HDMS completed testing in October to achieve certification prior to the Jan. 1, 2020, deadline for the new National Council for Prescription Drug Programs' SCRIPT standard v2017071. “The advantage that integrations to the Surescripts network gives HDMS, as compared to software running in other specialty and retail pharmacies, is that the prescription drops into our client's primary software tool,” said Danielle Crane, HDMS trainer. “Pharmacy techs or customer reps do not have to view prescriptions from a separate eScript portal then manually import or key it into the software where they are pursuing adjudication and filling orders. Not only does it save time, it closes the gap for human error in a big way.” Universal has been a technology partner with Surescripts since 2018.
