The Problem

Alberta pharmacists can prescribe for minor ailments, but documenting these assessments properly is time-consuming. Each condition requires systematic red flag screening, severity assessment, patient-specific treatment selection, and complete clinical documentation — all while the patient waits. Paper-based or unstructured documentation creates compliance risks and wastes valuable clinical time.
