Promote E-Prescribing
Surescripts is pleased to support your efforts to promote e-prescribing.
We've developed a number of resources you can use to let local physicians know that your pharmacy is connected to the Surescripts network as well as information you can share with physicians to encourage their adoption of e-prescribing technology.
We have made the following material available to you:
1.
LOGO - CONNECTED TO THE SURESCRIPTS NETWORK
This logo can be applied to your communications, web site
and any other place where you reference e-prescribing. It
will identify you as a pharmacy that is e-prescribing
enabled via the Surescripts network.
When using this logo, please refrain from placing on a
patterned background.
