PIP Application Update:
Effective April 1, 2025, all historic patient records in the Pharmaceutical Information Program (PIP) for Inflectra will appear as Remdantry. Remdantry is the new name of the biosimilar product formerly known as Inflectra.
Effective January 22, 2025, pharmacists will assess and treat Pharyngitis (sore throat) and Acute Otitis Media (ear infection) within select pharmacies. This includes rapid testing for Group A Streptococcus (GAS) using point of care testing (POCT). These assessments and GAS POCT results must be electronically captured into PIP. This information will flow into the Medications tab of the eHR Viewer for healthcare professionals. Patients can find this information within MySaskHealthRecord under the Prescription History section of the application.
Effective August 29, 2022, eHealth will begin capturing all new patient medications dispensed by the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency (SCA) pharmacies, including the Saskatoon Cancer Centre (SCC) pharmacy and the Allan Blair Cancer Centre (ABCC) pharmacy in Regina, into the Pharmaceutical Information Program (PIP) record.
Pharmacists can consult SCA Pharmacy Services Monday to Friday 08:00-16:30hrs:
