PrescribeIT rolled out at Gotodoctor.ca

September 28, 2022


Dr Pravesh JugnundanTORONTO – Canada Health Infoway and Gotodoctor.ca, a digital health solution and its in-person primary care Enhanced Care Clinics, are proud to announce the roll out of Infoway’s PrescribeIT, a national e-prescribing service, to 11 clinic locations and one senior living facility servicing approximately 200,000 patient visits a year.

The implementation of PrescribeIT will help Gotodoctor.ca further its mission to employ innovative solutions to improve patent safety while increasing operational efficiency. PrescribeIT will enable its physicians and pharmacy partners to better provide comprehensive in-person and virtual care to their patients.

“Our technology strategy has always been integrating with existing and useful solutions to allow our physicians and medical team to deliver comprehensive patient service across large geographic areas,” says Tommy Cheung, CEO of Gotodoctor.ca. “PrescribeIT is a natural fit for our organization and our patient care focus.”

“PrescribeIT helps modernize the prescribing process and improves virtual care,” said Jamie Bruce, executive vice president, Infoway. “We’re pleased to be working with Gotodoctor.ca to help their physician and pharmacy partners better collaborate directly through their electronic medical records (EMRs) and pharmacy management systems. This enables safer care and better health outcomes.”

Gotodoctor.ca’s physician and pharmacy partners also recognize the benefits of implementing e-prescribing. “Our physician team has been using the EMR for over a decade. PrescribeIT is a valuable addition to the range of technology solutions for our patients and physicians,” says Dr. Pravesh Jugnundan (pictured), lead physician advisor, Enhanced Care Clinic.

Fellow clinician, Eric Tangzhou, pharmacy manager, Enhanced Care Pharmacy Thornhill concurs: “PrescribeIT will further expand our collaboration with our physician and medical team, while increasing efficiency for our pharmacy workflow.”
