THE PHARMACY NETWORK

The Pharmacy Network gives your health care professionals access to your medication profile. When you fill a prescription at a provincial pharmacy, the Pharmacy Network stores information about the medications you are taking. This makes it easier for pharmacists and other health care professionals to make better decisions about your care and helps prevent harmful drug interactions.

  • Benefits

    The Pharmacy Network gives your health professionals access to information about the medications you take to help avoid harmful drug interactions and support better decisions about medications, diagnoses and treatments. It also allows other points of care such as clinics, hospitals and your doctor's office to view your medication profile providing key information about your health to the people who need it - your health professionals - when and where they need it. This makes planning your treatment easier, quicker, and safer.
