Conservative MPs are calling on the auditor general to probe the federal government’s handling of a $250-million program which reportedly is set to be scrapped next month.
PrescribeIT was launched in 2017 to modernize the way doctors send prescriptions to pharmacies, and to phase out older technology such as fax machines.
But Canada Health Infoway, the not-for-profit organization which runs PrescribeIT and is funded by the federal government, says the program will end May 29 as it transitions to an “an open-standards approach” for electronic prescriptions.
Another scandal?
