About the PrescribeIT Subsets
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.
