iPolitics Opinion: No silver bullet solution to opioid crisis but health care system can make strides forward

Read this great opinion article about the benefits of e-prescribing in battling the opioid crisis written by Tanya Achilles, Infoway’s director of PrescribeIT Medication Services. She acknowledges that there are no silver-bullet solutions, but suggests that modernizing how prescription medications are transmitted between prescribers and pharmacies is a good start.

Tanya cites some key Canadian opioid studies and explains many of the benefits of e-prescribing for all Canadians and how it can play a role in resolving the opioid crisis.

Furthermore, Tanya explained how e-prescribing “enhances team-based, patient-centred care by providing secure two-way communication between prescriber and pharmacist.”
