The PrescribeIT replacement for Canadian clinics and prescribers.

We're the independent PrescribeIT alternative integrated with every major Canadian EMR — OSCAR Pro, Accuro QHR, TELUS PS Suite, Microquest, WELL Health and others. Your prescribers keep writing in the EMR they know; we deliver prescriptions to the pharmacy of your patient's choice. Electronically. Before May 29.

PrescribeIT is ending. Your clinic doesn't have to go back to faxing.
Canada Health Infoway is shutting down PrescribeIT at 11:59 PM EST on May 29, 2026. FreedomRx — the parallel network for clinics on Accuro EMR — retires May 1. After that, most prescription transmission across Canada reverts to fax until the new national e-prescribing open standard (publishing May 1) gets vendor adoption, which is months away.
Most clinics that previously used PrescribeIT are looking at the same problem: how do we keep prescribing electronically without rebuilding our EMR setup?
Get in touch and tell us about your clinic — we'll walk through what fits your EMR, timing for the transition, and what onboarding looks like. Comparing options first? See the honest PrescribeIT alternatives roundup.
We work with every major Canadian EMR.
Your clinic doesn't change EMRs. We integrate with the one you have today. Here's how that looks for each of the most common Canadian clinic platforms.
Open-source EMR widely used by Canadian family medicine. We integrate with OSCAR's prescription workflow and route prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy of the patient's choice. Works with both community-supported and WELL Health–operated OSCAR Pro deployments.
Commercial EMR with strong specialty-practice presence in Western Canada. Accuro previously used FreedomRx for e-prescribing, which retires May 1, 2026. We provide a replacement transmission layer that works with your existing Accuro setup.
TELUS Health's general-practice EMR. Even with TELUS's own e-prescribing roadmap evolving post-PrescribeIT, our submission layer keeps your prescribers writing in PS Suite and the prescription getting to the right pharmacy.
Used by Canadian multi-specialty and hospital-affiliated clinics. We support the same submission flow your prescribers already use, with transmission handled on our side after the EMR hand-off.
WELL Health operates several EMR products (including OSCAR Pro). We work with the WELL Apps marketplace and direct EMR integration paths depending on which WELL product you run.
If your clinic is on a different EMR — or you're not sure which one — mention it on the contact form. We will walk through the options on the call. Most Canadian EMRs can be supported with reasonable effort.
From first call to live in under two weeks.
We've compressed the onboarding deliberately to fit the May 29 deadline. The exact timeline depends on your EMR configuration, but the pattern below is what most clinics see.
First call
A 15–30 minute conversation about your EMR, prescription volume, and how your clinic is currently handling the transition off PrescribeIT.
EMR review & scoping
We review your EMR setup, confirm transmission paths, and prepare the technical configuration. No production changes yet — your existing workflow keeps running.
Configuration & go-live
Configuration is applied to your environment, a controlled pilot runs first, and the full clinic switches over. We monitor the first week of operation closely.
Start the conversation today and you can be live well before May 29 with time to spare. The closer to the deadline you start, the less buffer you have if your EMR setup is unusual.
Common clinic questions
How does this work with my existing EMR?
+
Your prescribers continue writing prescriptions inside your EMR the same way they always have. We integrate with the EMR's prescription transmission layer so that what previously went through PrescribeIT now flows through our system to the pharmacy of the patient's choice. The clinic-facing workflow doesn't change.
How long does setup take?
+
Most clinics are live within 5–10 business days from the first call. Setup time depends on which EMR you use and how your clinic's prescription workflow is configured. We compressed the timeline specifically to fit the May 29 PrescribeIT shutdown.
What about controlled substances?
+
Controlled-substance prescribing follows your existing provincial regulations and your EMR's controlled-substance handling. We do not bypass any controlled-substance rules. In Alberta specifically, TPP Type 1 prescriptions revert to physical pads on May 30, 2026 per Alberta College of Pharmacy guidance.
Is this PIPEDA / PHIPA compliant?
+
Yes. We comply with the Canadian federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial health-information privacy law including PHIPA (Ontario), HIA (Alberta), and PIPA (BC). The transmission layer integrates with the EMR's existing compliance posture; patient data is never stored outside the encrypted transmission flow.
What changes for my prescribers after May 29?
+
Functionally, very little — they continue writing prescriptions in your EMR as they do today. The difference is on the back end: instead of relying on PrescribeIT for transmission, the prescription flows through our system to the patient's chosen pharmacy. They won't see fax machines and they won't need to print and hand patients paper prescriptions for routine fills.
