ºÚÁÏÉç registrants can now enrol in PRIME. Registrants who do not currently have access to PharmaNet and require it must enrol in PRIME before accessing it. Registrants with existing PharmaNet access who want to retain it must enrol in PRIME by August 15, 2023.
What is PRIME?
PRIME is a mainly automated application where health professionals request permission to access PharmaNet for both sites and individuals.
Patient dispensing history in PharmaNet plays an integral part in building patient health profiles, defining impacts on current health, and informing courses of treatment. PRIME enrolment will improve the privacy and security of patient and practitioner information in PharmaNet.
Who else needs to enrol in PRIME?
People accessing PharmaNet on a registrant’s behalf must also enrol by the same August 15, 2023 deadline (e.g. registration clerks, unit clerks, MOAs, students).
New sites that are clinical locations where PharmaNet is used to deliver in-person patient care must also be registered to access PharmaNet.
Existing sites must also be registered in PRIME for health professionals to access PharmaNet at those locations. A site can be registered by a registrant or by someone who does not access PharmaNet and is not a registrant of a college, such as an MOA or office manager, by August 31, 2023.
