STI Computer Services in Eagleville, Pennsylvania has earned SureScripts’ 2013 White Coat of Quality Award. The SureScripts White Coat of Quality distinction for technology vendors is a critical part of SureScripts continuous quality improvement program. The White Coat recognizes technology vendors that uphold the highest standards of clinical quality in e-prescribing.

It is an honor to work closely with healthcare software professionals who are committed to implementing our proven e-prescribing best practices and who worked hard to earn the White Coat of Quality distinction,” said Ajit Dhavle, Pharm.D., Director of Clinical Quality of Surescripts.
