Canada Health Infoway and CloudMD Partner to Give More Canadians Access to e-Prescribing

PrescribeIT^® is Infoway’s national e-prescribing service that enables prescribers and pharmacists to electronically create, receive, renew and cancel prescriptions, while improving overall patient care through secure clinician messaging.

Under the agreement, CloudMD will integrate its Juno electronic medical record (EMR) with PrescribeIT’s solution infrastructure. CloudMD is aiming to have the technical work completed in early 2021. Once complete, physicians and nurse practitioners who offer virtual consultations with patients will be able to send prescriptions electronically from their EMR to the patient’s pharmacy of choice, and pharmacies will be able to request prescription renewals electronically from the patient’s prescriber.

“We are excited to partner with Infoway because we believe a national, modern e-prescribing service will engender greater patient trust and confidence in prescriptions,” said Essam Hamza, MD, Chief Executive Officer of CloudMD. “The enhanced security offered by PrescribeIT^® will be beneficial to health providers and patients who use CloudMD’s services.”

CloudMD provides virtual medical care to a combined network of 376 clinics, more than 3,000 licensed practitioners and almost three million patients through its technology components.

“We look forward to working with CloudMD to make PrescribeIT^® more widely available across the country,” said Jamie Bruce, Executive Vice President, Infoway. “PrescribeIT^® makes prescribing safer, more secure, easier and more convenient by eliminating the use of paper and faxed prescriptions, resulting in better health outcomes for Canadians.”
