E-Prescribing Guidelines for Canadian Nurses

Client-Centred Care

• Inform the client when e-prescribing is in use, and document the client’s pharmacy of choice.
• Discuss the roles and responsibilities of health care professionals and the client related to e-prescribing.
• Review the client’s information in the EMR to ensure it is accurate, complete, and up to date in order to support full functioning of e-prescribing clinical decision support tools.
• Review the plan of care with the client, and offer prescription information in the form of a prescription receipt.
