It was a scalable technology that connected not only Telus platforms but all platforms, as I mentioned previously—EMRs and pharmacies—across different jurisdictions, which have different ways of delivering and differences in how they deliver health care. There were extensive negotiations done by Infoway when we were onboarding a net new province, which required adjustments.
Yes, today, you can fax a prescription from an EMR to a pharmacy, but that is a very antiquated way of processing digital health information. There is a high level of inefficiency when you have to read the information. Fax is an unreliable technology. Information can get lost.
This digital health infrastructure enabled the secure transmission of that information. It avoided duplicative entry and saved time for patients.
