TORONTO, July 17,
2024 /CNW/ - Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) and
Ava Industries (Ava) are pleased to announce they have signed an
agreement to integrate PrescribeIT®, Canada's national e-prescribing service, into
Ava's innovative electronic medical record (EMR) benefitting over
1,000 prescribers across clinics and healthcare facilities.
Since its inception, Ava Industries has been committed to
simplifying and streamlining the practice of medicine by
eliminating administrative obstacles. PrescribeIT®
aligns perfectly with this goal. When integrated with Ava's
comprehensive suite of AI-driven tools and streamlined processes,
PrescribeIT® enables healthcare providers to
electronically transmit a prescription directly to the pharmacy
management system, enhancing efficiency and patient outcomes.
"At Ava Industries, we have consistently championed for seamless
interoperability and the secure, swift sharing of patient
information. PrescribeIT® represents a significant
advancement in our mission to replace outdated fax machines with
more efficient digital solutions, placing accurate information
exactly where physicians need it" stated Dr. Matt Henschke, CEO of Ava Industries.
"We are thrilled to welcome Ava EMR into the
PrescribeIT® family," said Ian Lording, VP, Health
Solutions and Operations at Canada Health Infoway. "By integrating
PrescribeIT® into Ava EMR's innovative platform, we are
furthering our mission to provide safer and more efficient
medication management. This collaboration represents a significant
step forward in our efforts to provide healthcare providers with
seamless access to electronic prescribing, ultimately improving
patient care and outcomes."
"The implementation of PrescribeIT® aligns with our
commitment to leveraging technology to ensure that critical patient
information is always within reach, without the cumbersome
processes of the past. It's a proud moment for us, knowing that we
are making a real difference in the lives of healthcare providers
and their patients, driving forward a future where technology and
care seamlessly intersect," added Dr. Henschke.
Users, like Dr. Adina McIntosh, a
family doctor in Three Hills,
Alberta, are already seeing the benefits: "Having used
PrescribeIT® in our previous EMR, our clinic is really
excited to have it added into the Ava EMR. With all of our local
pharmacies using PrescribeIT®, this allows for easier
communication through direct messaging and fewer faxes. Most
importantly, our team will be happy to set aside our triplicate
pads, since these prescriptions can be sent securely through
PrescribeIT® instead of using the paper pads."
