Accuro Electronic Medical Record Platform is now Integrated with PrescribeIT®, Canada’s National e-Prescribing Service
TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2025 /CNW/ – Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) and QHR Technologies Inc are pleased to announce the successful integration of PrescribeIT® into Accuro®EMR, with sign up currently available in Ontario. The availability of PrescribeIT® in Accuro® EMR will expand into other jurisdictions over the coming months.
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.
“The partnership with QHR Technologies Inc. represents another significant step in enhancing digital health throughout Canada,” said Ian Lording, EVP Health Solutions & Operations, Infoway. “PrescribeIT® helps ensure prescriptions are securely transmitted between prescribers and pharmacists, improving patient safety and supporting medication adherence.”
With PrescribeIT® now integrated in AccuroEMR, Ontario prescribers can sign up to send prescriptions digitally to pharmacies directly from their EMR, eliminating the need for faxed or handwritten prescriptions. This enhancement reduces prescription errors, improves medication adherence, and strengthens communication between prescribers and pharmacists.
“The completion of this initial integration reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative digital health solutions that improve efficiency and patient care,” said Daryl Laverdure, Director of Product Development at QHR Technologies.
As the first physician to use PrescribeIT® within AccuroEMR, Dr. Rashaad Bhyat, Physician Lead at Canada Health Infoway, shared his firsthand experience with the system:
“As both a physician and an early adopter of digital health solutions, I have seen firsthand how PrescribeIT® simplifies the prescribing process while improving patient safety. Having it integrated into AccuroEMR makes it even more seamless, reducing reliance on faxing and allowing for more efficient communication with pharmacies. This is a significant step forward in modernizing how we manage prescriptions in Canada.”
