Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions (eTP)

Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions (eTP) is the secure exchange of prescription information between prescribing and dispensing systems. To send and receive electronic prescriptions securely, a Prescription Delivery Service (eRX or Medisecure) must be enabled. Electronic prescriptions will not be mandatory and patients will have a choice to receive either an electronic OR a paper prescription from their prescriber.
