CCDD (Canadian Clinical Drug Data Set)

Infoway and Health Canada are working on a national drug library that allows clinically oriented prescribing, based on the non-proprietary/non-commercial active product.

Information on this initiative, the CCDD (Canadian Clinical Drug Data Set), is available here: infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/standards/health-information/ccdd

It is managed by Health Canada and Infoway's Standards team working together, and will support PrescribeIT, the national ePrescribing service.

The 'Editorial Guidelines' document provides a high level overview in the first few pages.
