Mustimuhw Improves First Nations Patient Safety through PrescribeIT®

Mustimuhw Improves First Nations Patient Safety through PrescribeIT®

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, April 9, 2020 /CNW/ - Mustimuhw Information Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce it's helping to improve the safety of First Nations patients through an agreement with Canada Health Infoway's PrescribeIT®. Through the agreement, Mustimuhw will integrate PrescribeIT®, Canada's e-prescribing service, directly into its Community Electronic Medical Record (cEMR). 

"PrescribeIT® will help improve collaboration between prescribers and pharmacists," said Mark Sommerfeld, CEO of Mustimuhw Information Solutions. "PrescribeIT® will enable appropriate health care practitioners to communicate with pharmacists directly through their cEMR, saving time and improving safety."

PrescribeIT® can also be a significant asset in virtual care settings. It reduces the need for an in-person visit by enabling prescribers to electronically transmit prescriptions directly to pharmacies — an important tool as more physicians and nurse practitioners offer virtual care due to the current COVID-19 health crisis.

"We're excited to be working with Mustimuhw Information Solutions to integrate PrescribeIT® and help improve patient outcomes," said Jamie Bruce, Executive Vice President, Infoway. "It also makes prescribing safer when in-person visits aren't recommended."

"We're pleased we will soon be able to prescribe electronically through the Mustimuhw cEMR with PrescribeIT®," said Kim Roberts, Health Director at Kwakiutl District Council. "PrescribeIT® will make prescribing easier and more convenient for patients."

Mustimuhw, a subsidiary of the Cowichan Tribes of British Columbia, operates in seven provinces and supports care delivery in more than 297 First Nations communities in Canada. PrescribeIT® will enable physicians and nurse practitioners to electronically transmit prescriptions directly into a pharmacy's management system. It also enables clinical communication between prescribers and pharmacists and allows prescribers to receive dispense notifications.
