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

General information about the current release of PrescribeIT subsets can be found on the About PrescribeIT page.

As of June 18, 2021, three 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
• Version 5.0.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.
