In Case of Emergency

October 25, 2007

ICERx.org (In Case of Emergency Prescription history service) has been activated to provide licensed physicians and pharmacists caring for California wildfire evacuees with private, secure online access to available medication history information for affected individuals.

Using this website, health care professionals will be able to assist in the coordination of health care services and safely renew prescriptions for those who have been evacuated. The information can be used to avoid harmful prescription errors and potential drug interactions.

The Prescription data is available only to (US) licensed physicians and pharmacists who have been authenticated and registered. To register, physicians and pharmacists can call 1-888-ICERX-50.

The Prescription history is available from a variety of sources that participate with ICERx.org, including community pharmacies and Medicaid.
