A partnership with Mustimuhw Information Solutions inc.

Mustimuhw entrusts Vigilance Santé to enable an e-prescribing service into its cEMR

Repentigny, September 9, 2020 – Vigilance Santé is pleased to announce that it is partnering with Mustimuhw Information Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of the Cowichan Tribes of British Columbia, to help deliver care to the 285 First Nations communities the company serves across Canada.

To make it possible for prescribing health providers to send prescriptions directly to pharmacies using its Community Electronic Medical Record (cEMR), Mustimuhw has made plans to integrate PrescribeIT®, Canada Health Infoway's national eprescribing service, into the cEMR system. The company is now calling on Vigilance Santé to help carry out this project and supply the analysis and drug information module that will bridge the gap between the cEMR and PrescribeIT®.

"We're thrilled to be working with Vigilance Santé to improve our cEMR's medication management feature," says Mark Sommerfeld, CEO of Mustimuhw Information Solutions. "RxVigilance constitutes a significant advantage for clinical users of our system and their clients. Vigilance Santé's structured clinical data will allow us to send prescriptions electronically via PrescribeIT®, making it easier and safer to prescribe medications, especially when in-person visits are hard to arrange or not recommended."

RxVigilance, Vigilance Santé's flagship software, will provide key decision support tools for medication management, including access to the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) drug benefit list. The product's exceptional quality, its 100 percent Canadian content, and its patient drug profile analysis tool (complete with a user-friendly viewer feature) are also major advantages for Mustimuhw.

"Right now we're working on giving cEMR and Mustimuhw users access to as many RxVigilance tools as possible: the patient profile analysis engine, monographs, price charts, drug indications and interactions, pediatric dosages, etc.," says AndréeAnne Chevalier, co-president of Vigilance Santé. "We're also pleased to support cutting-edge, quality health services for Indigenous communities through our partnership with Mustimuhw."

Vigilance Santé has no doubt that users will appreciate features such as the provincial drug coverage module, which includes information on coverage for First Nations people, and the patient profile analysis tool, which generates alerts related to medications and patient profile information (age, conditions, etc.).
