Launching first in New Brunswick — secure, vendor-neutral e-prescribing infrastructure connecting prescribers and pharmacies across the prescription lifecycle.
RxNet answers the everyday question:
"What happened to the prescription?"
RxNet goes beyond transmission — giving prescribers and pharmacies a shared prescription lifecycle record to track status from creation through fulfillment.
RxNet is a secure electronic prescription network that supports e-prescription access and prescription status visibility across the prescription lifecycle.
RxNet helps authorized prescribers and pharmacies work from a shared prescription status record, reducing uncertainty about what happened after a prescription was sent.
RxNet helps answer common questions such as:
New Brunswick is moving into the next phase of e-prescribing and requires a secure, sustainable way to support electronic prescription workflows.
RxNet provides an electronic prescription service for prescribers and pharmacies while supporting a broader lifecycle view than simple prescription transmission — improving visibility, reducing manual follow-up, and supporting safer dispensing.
RxNet is designed to be compatible with Canada Health Infoway e-prescribing standards while maintaining secure provincial governance.
RxNet is designed around a prescription lifecycle model — supporting visibility from creation through fulfillment, cancellation, and beyond.
Prescribers create and send e-prescriptions through RxScribe initially, with additional certified systems supported over time through appropriate standards-compatible approaches.
RxNet maintains a shared lifecycle record so authorized pharmacy and prescriber users can view prescription status at every stage.
Pharmacies can access prescriptions through the Pharmacy Portal from day one — view direct prescriptions or look up eligible unassigned prescriptions, where permitted.
RxNet supports prescription status updates across the lifecycle — cancellations, renewals, transfers, and structured messaging — reducing uncertainty and manual follow-up.
RxNet offers purpose-built access paths for both pharmacies and prescribers — with participation available from day one.
Pharmacy Portal — Access from Day One
Registered pharmacies will be able to access e-prescriptions through the RxNet Pharmacy Portal. The Portal provides a secure way to participate before direct Pharmacy Management System integration is available.
No Pharmacy Management System integration required to start participating.
RxScribe — Initial Certified Prescribing System
RxScribe will serve as the initial certified prescribing system connected to RxNet. Prescribers using RxScribe can create and send e-prescriptions and gain better visibility into prescription status after they're sent.
RxNet is vendor-neutral infrastructure — additional prescribing systems may connect over time through the appropriate certification and standards-compatible approach.
RxScribe focuses on e-prescribing workflows. It does not replace a prescriber's existing EHR or clinical system.
RxNet is not a replacement built for the same purpose — it introduces a fundamentally broader model for electronic prescribing in New Brunswick.
PrescribeIT provided a secure electronic prescription service for participating systems — focused on transmitting prescriptions from one system to another.
Transitions to
RxNet provides electronic prescription access and maintains a shared lifecycle record — designed to help authorized users understand prescription status over time, from creation through fulfillment and beyond.
The lifecycle visibility is the key difference: RxNet helps prescribers and pharmacies understand what happened after a prescription was sent — not just that it was sent.
RxNet is designed as secure, provincially governed infrastructure — with access limited to authorized users and all prescription activity tracked through the lifecycle record.
Access to prescription information is strictly limited to authorized prescribers and pharmacy users. No unauthorized access to prescription data.
Prescription activity is tracked through the lifecycle record, supporting auditability and accountability at every stage.
Designed as provincially governed e-prescribing infrastructure, compatible with Canada Health Infoway e-prescribing standards.
Helps reduce duplicate dispensing risk, prescription uncertainty, and confusion when prescriptions are changed, cancelled, or transferred.
Common questions about RxNet, how it works, and how pharmacies and prescribers can participate.
RxNet is an electronic prescription network launching first in New Brunswick. It is designed to make e-prescriptions secure, accessible, and trackable across the prescription lifecycle.
RxNet is being introduced as New Brunswick transitions away from PrescribeIT. Pharmacies and prescribers will continue to have access to an electronic prescription service, with the added benefit of prescription lifecycle visibility.
Registered pharmacies will be able to access e-prescriptions through the RxNet Pharmacy Portal from day one while direct pharmacy system integration efforts begin. No direct Pharmacy Management System integration is required to start.
No. RxNet does not replace a Pharmacy Management System. The Pharmacy Portal provides access to e-prescriptions and supports prescription workflow participation while integration efforts continue.
RxScribe will serve as the initial certified prescribing system connected to RxNet. Prescribers using RxScribe will be able to create and send e-prescriptions through RxNet. RxNet is vendor-neutral — additional systems may connect over time through appropriate certification.
No. RxNet does not fully replace an EHR. RxScribe focuses on e-prescribing workflows — allowing creation and sending of e-prescriptions for prescribers whose existing EHR is not yet integrated with RxNet.
Prescription lifecycle visibility means authorized users can see meaningful status information about a prescription after it is sent — whether it has been accessed, fulfilled, cancelled, renewed, transferred, or otherwise updated.
No. RxNet does not replace the Drug Information System. RxNet focuses on electronic prescription access and prescription lifecycle status. DIS remains the medication and dispense history system.
Yes. RxNet is being designed to be compatible with e-prescribing systems using Canada Health Infoway e-prescribing standards, while maintaining secure provincial governance.
RxNet is launching first in New Brunswick to support secure electronic prescription access with prescriber and pharmacy participation from day one, and improved prescription lifecycle visibility for all authorized participants.
