Surescripts®, the nation’s leading health information network, will convene industry experts and Surescripts Network Alliance participants at HIMSS24 for a close-up view of how we align healthcare organizations across the nation to simplify the way health intelligence is shared.

“Through the Surescripts Network Alliance, we have an incredible opportunity—and responsibility—to convene industry stakeholders from all corners of healthcare to address some of our biggest challenges, including burnout, workforce shortages and rising costs,” said Frank Harvey, Chief Executive Officer of Surescripts. “We look forward to meeting again this year at HIMSS24 to continue collaborating to make health intelligence sharing simpler, with innovations that will have a positive impact on the lives of patients and the people who serve them now and in the future.”

Surescripts will also share an update on its subsidiary, Surescripts Health Information Network, LLC^TM becoming a candidate Qualified Health Information Network ^TM(QHIN^TM).

“Supporting health intelligence sharing at scale means every new technology or process innovation Surescripts introduces needs to work across our complex health system,” said Tara Dragert, Chief Product Officer at Surescripts. “We are excited to share more about our subsidiary, Surescripts Health Information Network, and how we can help healthcare organizations be part of this important moment in advancing healthcare interoperability.”
