Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) is supporting the Government of Québec, Santé Québec and their partners as they continue the rollout of Prescription Québec, an initiative that enables prescribers to securely transmit medication prescriptions and related clinical information electronically to community pharmacists.
Built on the digital prescribing infrastructure established through the PrescribeIT® platform, Prescription Québec supports faster, safer and more efficient communication between prescribers and pharmacists. It also helps reduce the risks and inefficiencies associated with paper- and fax-based processes.
Through an agreement between Santé Québec and Infoway, Québec is moving forward with the next phase of Prescription Québec, which is already in use in various settings across the province. This work supports Québec’s broader efforts to modernize care delivery and improve the experience of patients and healthcare professionals.
By advancing electronic prescribing, Québec is helping strengthen the quality, safety and efficiency of prescription management. The initiative will reduce reliance on faxes and enable more secure, seamless exchange of prescription information between prescribers and pharmacists.
Infoway remains committed to working constructively with Québec and other jurisdictions and partners to support the next phase of ePrescribing, including through the national open standards model. This approach builds on the foundation established through PrescribeIT® and supports jurisdictions in advancing solutions aligned with their own priorities, while maintaining consistent and secure prescription exchange between prescribers and pharmacists.
