Downloading Prescriptions from the EHR

This topic is only applicable to provinces that have Electronic Health Record (EHR) integration with Propel Rx.

Select the applicable tab for your province to learn about downloading prescriptions form the EHR.

With the introduction of PPM, prescriptions can be downloaded from the Rx Authorizations Profile.

To be eligible for download, a prescription must be non-local and have one of the following statuses:

Active
Complete
Obsolete/Discontinue

Once a prescription is downloaded, it can be dispensed or Adapted/Extended and then dispensed at your pharmacy.

You can download an Obsolete prescription and Adapt or Extend it if it was adapted before. However, you cannot dispense it. The following rejection is returned from the EHR if a dispense is attempted.

Until all pharmacies are on PPM, you may still be required to contact the transferring pharmacy for a prescription and perform the transfer in/out process in Propel Rx. For more information about the transfer in/out process, see Transferring Prescriptions.

For more information, refer to the Downloading Prescriptions from the EHR section of the BC PPM User Guide.
