Business Continuity

Update on COVID-19

Canada Health Infoway is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 response closely and is ensuring PrescribeIT® continues to maintain its high levels of response rate to partners and service reliability. We have activated our business continuity activities and in accordance with the public health guidelines, have implemented the following measures:

  • We are reaching out to prescribers and pharmacies to offer to postpone any scheduled deployments of the service at their sites.
  • All deployments that move forward will be supported virtually to limit the potential transmission of the virus.
  • Meetings with partners and stakeholders are now being held virtually or, if preferred by the partner/stakeholder, are being deferred to a later date.
  • All non-essential business travel has been postponed.
  • Staff are working from home and are readily available by cell phone, email, Skype and Zoom.

We will continue monitor the situation closely and evolve our response in accordance with the needs of our partners. For further information, please see our position on PrescribeIT® and Public Health Emergencies or contact us at PrescribeIT@Infoway-Inforoute.ca.
