Prescription Transmission Errors

Incident Report for Akute Health

Resolved

Earlier today, we experienced a brief period of increased prescription transmission errors. The issue has since been resolved, and normal operations have been fully restored.

Incident Details:

Issue: A percentage of prescriptions resulted in transmission errors due to timeouts occurring as they were sent to the Surescripts routing network
Start Time: 2/3/2026 9:10 am ET
Resolution Time: 2/3/2026 10:00 am ET

What Happened:
- Our monitoring alerted the team to an increase in transmission errors, and investigation began immediately.
- The team identified that the failures were caused by timeouts when communicating with the Surescripts routing network.
- Error messaging was updated to provide clearer, more user-friendly guidance.
- All failed prescriptions were re-queued for processing once connectivity stabilized on the Surescripts network.

Current Status:
Connectivity has been fully restored. All re-queued prescriptions were successfully transmitted and confirmed by the receiving pharmacies. No ongoing issues are observed at this time. If a similar error is encountered in the future, providers are advised to re-queue affected prescriptions..
