Pharmacy Search

Pharmacy search allows you to find pharmacies by name, address, and specialty. In this guide, we'll cover the basic functionality of pharmacy search as well as a recommended approach for how and when to use pharmacy search in your EHR.

Access Policy

To search for pharmacies, your user needs to have the following access policy:

{
  "rule": [
    {
      "action": "eRx:SearchPharmacy",
      "resource": "eRx:Pharmacy",
    },
  ],
}

Code Examples

Here is an example of how to search for pharmacies.

const osytehr = new Oystehr({
  accessToken: "<your_access_token>",
});
 
const { pharmacies } = await oystehr.erx.searchPharmacies({

});
