Hospital Pharmacy PharmaNet Access
Pharmacists can now access PharmaNet from any hospital network terminal - without prior approval from the College, as long as the hospital pharmacy is already PharmaNet-connected.
Pharmacy managers can grant access to pharmacists employed by the pharmacy or by other health authority departments. Managers are still responsible for setting access, audit and security policies and making sure pharmacists follow them. Also, health authorities must have appropriate security policies, such as logging off when the terminal is not in use, password protection and automatic log off after a certain period of inactivity.
If your hospital pharmacy is not yet PharmaNet-connected, you can download a "Request for Connection" by following the link below.
PharmaNet is a secure computer network that links community and hospital pharmacies throughout the province. By allowing B.C. health care providers controlled computer access to their clients' medication profiles, PharmaNet can protect British Columbians from potentially dangerous medication interactions and duplications. In addition, it helps to limit prescription fraud and drug abuse. PharmaNet complies with the province's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Hospital Access to PharmaNet (HAP) allows authorized physicians and pharmacists to request and receive up-to-date records of medications dispensed to a patient, in a timely and secure manner, at each registered hospital or designated mental health facility (DMHF).
