Uploading a Netcare Batch
This topic is not applicable for pharmacies using Real Time Integration (RTI).
Alberta pharmacies are required by Alberta Health to upload medication records to Alberta Netcare EHR Portal via the Pharmaceutical Information Network (PIN) repository on a daily basis. This is done by uploading prescriptions and DURs in a batch process. As part of the process, a response file will also be downloaded that contains a list of errors, if any. It is recommended that this process be completed at the end of each business day so that all dispensed or entered medications are captured.
To upload a Netcare batch:
-
From the server (SVR), select More (...) > Alberta > Netcare > Upload Batch. The user must have a Pharmacist role type for this button to be enabled.
-
A window will appear indicating a batch file has been created. Select OK.
-
As the file transmits, the status in the window will update to "Waiting for response..."
Once the file has been successfully transmitted, the window will close automatically.
A prompt will appear if the file transmission was unsuccessful. Contact Customer Care for further assistance.
