Included pharmacy automations

The pharmacy handoff—automated across your Connect system.

Connect Meds is the name we use for the configured pharmacy automations shared across Connect Telehealth and Connect Scripts. It is not another platform, subscription, or login.

Connect Telehealth runs the branded patient and CRM workflow. Providers review and prescribe in Connect Scripts. Surescripts carries the configured e-prescription. Independent pharmacies review and, if accepted, dispense and fulfill. The included automations keep those operational handoffs connected.

Included automation patterns

The handoff stays simple. The details stay connected.

The applicable patterns are configured across Connect Telehealth and Connect Scripts around the pharmacy, program, permissions, and source data that actually exist.

01

Handoff triggers

Start the configured pharmacy path only after Connect Scripts records a provider-authorized prescription.

PRESCRIBED · THEN ROUTE
02

Routing rules

Move the operational workflow toward the configured independent-pharmacy relationship for the approved program.

THE RIGHT HANDOFF · CONFIGURED
03

Status mapping

Bring supported pharmacy events back into authorized operational views so teams can see what moved and what needs attention.

SENT · REVIEWING · NEXT STEP
04

Approved notifications

Turn supported events into the right authorized team or patient-facing update without exposing clinical details in public analytics.

RIGHT MESSAGE · RIGHT CHANNEL
05

Exception tasks

Create a clear next action when a supported workflow needs attention, clarification, reconciliation, or human follow-up.

AUTOMATE · THEN ESCALATE
06

Operational reporting

Bring available pharmacy and fulfillment context into approved views so teams can understand movement and bottlenecks.

SUPPORTED CONTEXT · VISIBLE

Prescription pathways

One handoff.
The right prescription path.

Connect Scripts handles provider review and the configured Surescripts transmission. The included Connect Meds automations coordinate what happens around the pharmacy connection and return supported operational context to the connected workflow.

NON-CONTROLLED PRESCRIPTIONS

A familiar electronic path, connected to operations.

When the provider prescribes, the configured workflow sends the prescription through Surescripts to the selected independent pharmacy.
  • Provider authorizes the prescription in Connect Scripts
  • Surescripts carries the electronic prescription
  • Independent pharmacy reviews and determines acceptance

Compounded and controlled are not opposite categories. If a compounded prescription contains a controlled substance, it uses the controlled-substance path and requires an enabled EPCS workflow.

Independent pharmacy relationships

Bring the pharmacy that works—or evaluate a compatible relationship.

The automations do not create a pharmacy network. We start with your program, states, prescription types, partners, and systems, then map the connection that actually fits.

01EXISTING RELATIONSHIP

Connect your current pharmacy.

If you already have a pharmacy relationship, we evaluate the technical, contractual, program, and status requirements needed to connect it.

  • Compatibility and integration review
  • Program, state, and prescription-path mapping
  • Operational identifiers and status workflow
  • Clear scope for custom connection work
02AVAILABLE RELATIONSHIP

Evaluate a compatible pharmacy connection.

Where appropriate, USHWN can separately coordinate introductions to independent U.S.-licensed pharmacy partners based on the program and capabilities required.

  • Program and capability fit
  • Compounding or specialized workflow needs
  • Service-area and operating-model review
  • Independent contracting and pharmacy approval
Compatibility comes first.

A connection depends on aligned systems, contracts, permissions, program requirements, geography, and the pharmacy’s willingness and ability to participate. Nonstandard integration or partner-onboarding work may be scoped separately from the included automations.

Connected status

Useful status, not another black box.

Where configured, supported pharmacy events can return to connected systems so founders, operators, and developers can see whether the workflow is moving or needs attention.

  • Map partner-specific statuses into a useful operational model
  • Connect authorized identifiers without putting patient details in analytics
  • Use supported callbacks, reporting, or reconciliation patterns

Exact statuses, timing, and connection methods depend on the pharmacy, systems, agreements, and implementation scope.

Clear ownership

Everybody keeps their lane. The workflow still moves.

The handoff works because the responsibilities stay clear.

LICENSED PROVIDER

The clinical decision

Clinical review, documentation, treatment decision, and prescription authorization based on independent professional judgment.

CONNECT SCRIPTS

The prescribing workflow

Provider review tools and configured transmission of the authorized prescription through the Surescripts network.

CONNECT TELEHEALTH

The operational automation

Configured CRM tasks, authorized updates, patient-facing workflow steps, and operational visibility around the pharmacy handoff.

INDEPENDENT PHARMACY

The pharmacy work

Prescription acceptance, pharmacy review, pricing, dispensing or compounding, fulfillment, shipping, and medication-related patient communication.

HEALTH BRAND

The connected experience

Approved programs, payment context, branded operations, and authorized non-clinical updates through its connected patient experience.

Simple above. Solid underneath.

Built for healthcare data without adding another system.

These automations run inside Connect Telehealth and Connect Scripts, with role-aware access, organization-scoped data, authenticated connections, and activity history. The CRM is designed to support HIPAA-compliant workflows; eligible customers can put a BAA in place before using PHI.

Straight answers

A few things teams usually ask.

Have a specific pharmacy setup in mind?

Talk it through with us ↗
01What does Connect Meds mean?

Connect Meds is the name for the configured pharmacy automations included across Connect Telehealth and Connect Scripts. It describes how the connected system coordinates a prescription handoff, compatible pharmacy relationships, supported operational status context, and authorized updates after an independent provider prescribes.

02Is Connect Meds a separate platform?

No. Connect Meds is not a standalone platform, separate subscription, or additional login. The applicable automations are configured within the connected Connect Telehealth and Connect Scripts implementation.

03Does every consultation use the pharmacy automations?

No. The pharmacy automations are used only when an independent provider issues a prescription and the configured program requires a pharmacy handoff. A prescription is never guaranteed.

04How does the workflow use the Surescripts network?

The prescribing workflow begins in Connect Scripts. In approved configurations, an authorized prescriber can transmit a prescription through the Surescripts network. The included automations coordinate the connected pharmacy workflow around that handoff.

05Can the workflow support non-controlled, compounded, and controlled medications?

Approved configurations may support non-controlled prescriptions, structured compound information, and controlled-substance prescriptions through an EPCS-enabled Surescripts workflow. Support is configuration-specific, and prescriber, application, pharmacy, jurisdictional, and other legal requirements apply.

06Can we work with an existing pharmacy?

Potentially. An existing independent pharmacy or an available pharmacy option can be evaluated during implementation. Compatibility depends on the program, jurisdiction, medication type, pharmacy capabilities, contracts, technical connection, and required authorizations.

07What status information can the automations coordinate?

Where supported, the configured automations can coordinate authorized prescription and fulfillment context from connected systems. The available statuses, timing, and source depend on the implementation and do not guarantee pharmacy acceptance, dispensing, shipping, or delivery.

08Who dispenses and ships medication?

Independent licensed pharmacies are responsible for prescription acceptance, pharmacy review, dispensing, fulfillment, shipping, delivery, and pharmacy-patient communications. The Connect system and its included automations do not prescribe, dispense, or ship medication.

09Can patients receive updates?

Authorized operational updates can be sent through configured channels when the necessary source data, permissions, and communication consents are in place. The exact messages and sender responsibilities are defined for each implementation.
