The Pharmacy Network is an information system that will hold a record of all medications prescribed for every individual in the province. When visiting any pharmacy, information about prescriptions are captured in the Pharmacy Network, no matter where a patient fills a prescription in Newfoundland and Labrador. Overtime, this will enable a patient´s full medication record to be available in one location. The pharmacist will also add other important information to the profile, such as allergies.

Information in the Pharmacy Network is shared among an individual´s circle of care. These are the health professionals and their assistants who provide a patient with health care.

The Pharmacy Network helps pharmacists and other health professionals deliver better health care, which includes helping to determine which medications are safe to take.

In the next phase of roll out process, it is the vision that acute, long-term care and other health care facilities will connect to the Pharmacy Network. Pharmacists will be the first to experience the Pharmacy Network; in the future, physicians and other health professionals will have role-based access to patients´ drug information.
