Page History

Canada Health Infoway is working with Health Canada, the provinces and territories, and industry stakeholders to create, operate and maintain a financially self-sustaining, multi-jurisdiction e-prescribing service, known as PrescribeIT™. This will be a single service that can be scaled for use across the country enabling prescribers to electronically transmit a prescription to a patient’s pharmacy of choice.

The pan-Canadian PrescribeIT™ subsets provide a standardized way for systems to capture, store, retrieve and transmit related health information. 

As of April 8, 2019, two versions of PrescribeIT™ are available on the Terminology Gateway.

• Version 2.0.x, where x will increase each month with a new release of PrescriptionMedicinalProduct
• Version 3.0.x, where x will increase each month with a new release of PrescriptionMedicinalProduct

More information about each of these releases can be found on the appropriate page from the left side menu.

General information about PrescribeIT™ is on the About PrescribeIT™ page.
