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.

Known Issues with the July 2017 release of PrescribeIT subsets:
- Infoway is managing 11 new reference terminologies (code systems) to support this release, these terminologies are only published as part of their respective subset.
- When the reference terminology is managed by Infoway, the risk of pre-adopting codes that have not been previously published is low and the subsets are published as an Initial release.
- IndicationForUse subset should be considered a starter set because there was insufficient consensus on the content.
- PrescriptionMedicinalProduct is missing content based on the scope. The content of this subset only contains commonly used medicinal products that are available for prescribing and dispensing in Canada. This content will expand to include all human medicinal products over time.
Subsets that contain pre-adopted codes:
- PrescriptionCancelRejectReason
- PrescriptionRenewalRejectReason
- PrescriptionRenewalReviewReason
- SharedPractitionerRole
- PrescriptionMedicationCoverage
