Electronic processing of specialty medications will help improve efficiency and time savings to
pharmacies and providers.
ORLANDO, Fla. – February 20, 2017 – AssistRx (ARx), the leading enterprise technology platform
focused on specialty and highly-managed medications, announces today the integration of ARx’s
iAssist Workflows into Surescripts Electronic Prescribing, addressing the specialty Rx workflow to
eliminate the inefficient manual processes that strain pharmacies and providers daily. Surescripts
is the single most trusted and capable health information network, delivering nearly 2 billion eprescriptions
annually.
Through the Surescripts network, users will have access to AssistRx’s leading technology platform
including iAssist Workflows. iAssist Workflows are a series of acceleration services configured to
the specific needs of a patient, healthcare provider, or treatment. The integration of iAssist
Workflows into Surescripts Electronic Prescribing will help simplify patients’ access to necessary
medications, improve patient compliance and adherence, and deliver improved patient
outcomes through a streamlined and electronic process, eliminating the need for faxes, phone
calls, and paper.

time-consuming and error-prone tasks throughout the prescribing process, enabling physicians
to focus more time on patients and less on paper-based efforts,” said Edward Hensley, Chief
Commercial Officer, AssistRx. “Together, we’re providing the industry with a solution that
integrates and consolidates information networks, ensuring the highest level of accuracy,
