Surescripts^®, the nation's leading health information network, will convene industry experts and Surescripts Network Alliance participants at HIMSS25 on March 3–6, 2025, in Las Vega s, NV, to highlight how innovative collaboration is advancing interoperability, automating prior authorizations and enabling better informed, safer and less costly care for patients.

Surescripts’ innovations on display at HIMSS25 include:

• Transforming prior authorizations to help patients get treatment faster while bringing greater efficiency to clinician workflows.
• Advancing interoperability at scale with Surescripts Interconnect™– making it simple to participate in the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement™ (TEFCA™) should Surescripts Health Information Network LLC receive designation as a Qualified Health Information ^® (QHIN™).

“Collaboration and innovation have been pivotal to Surescripts’ ability to advance health intelligence sharing at scale, helping patient information flow securely and seamlessly across healthcare,” said Frank Harvey, Chief Executive Officer for Surescripts. “The Surescripts Network Alliance will come together at HIMSS25 to showcase how we are delivering meaningful innovations that solve healthcare’s biggest challenges, all in line with our shared purpose of increasing patient safety, lowering costs and improving the quality of care.”

Surescripts leaders will be joined by industry experts to share important milestones and promising results of recent innovations that are having meaningful impacts on patients and the people who care for them.
