Canada Health Infoway and Logiciels Info-Data Inc. Partner to Integrate PrescribeIT Into the OFYS Electronic Medical Record
TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2024 /CNW/ – Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) and Logiciels Info-Data Inc. (Logiciels) are pleased to announce the integration of PrescribeIT® into Logiciels’ OFYS Electronic Medical Record (EMR) platform, benefiting over 1,000 prescribers across Canada. This partnership will modernize prescription management by reducing faxes and unnecessary phone calls, streamlining clinic workflows. The agreement, signed on July 25, 2024, marks a significant step toward enhancing patient care and improving healthcare services nationwide.
PrescribeIT®, Canada’s national e-prescribing service, is designed to enable prescribers and pharmacists to securely transmit prescriptions directly from an EMR to the pharmacy, minimizing manual errors and ensuring more efficient patient care. For OFYS users, the integration of PrescribeIT® is expected to roll out in 2025, making electronic prescribing a seamless part of their daily workflow.
OFYS is committed to simplifying healthcare technology for its clients. “Our philosophy has always been to wrap complexity in simplicity for the benefit of our clients, and integrating PrescribeIT® into our system is a reflection of that commitment,” said Patrice Drolet, MD, FRCPC, President and CEO of OFYS. “No more faxes for managing prescriptions, no more phone calls for handling prescription renewals. It represents the most significant advancement in EMR technology in recent years.”
“We are thrilled to partner with OFYS to bring PrescribeIT® to more than 1,000 prescribers across Canada,” said Michael Green, President and CEO of Canada Health Infoway.” This partnership is a testament to our joint commitment to leveraging digital health tools to streamline prescription management. Together, we are driving progress toward a more connected and efficient healthcare experience.”
