A4 Health Systems, a Cary, N.C.-based vendor of electronic medical records software, will offer electronic prescription writing and routing software through an agreement with SureScripts Inc., Alexandria, Va. Terms of the partnership were not disclosed. A4 Health initially will offer electronic prescribing and transmission as an optional feature with its HealthMatics EMR electronic medical record and later with its HealthMatics ED emergency department information system. There are no immediate plans to offer SureScripts' services with A4 Health's recently acquired physician practice management system, Ntierprise. A4 Health in April acquired Nashua, N.H.-based Compusense Inc., the vendor of Ntierprise. SureScripts is a joint venture of the National Community Pharmacists Association and the National Association of Chain Drug Stores.
