You may have identified with one of the many articles like What to Expect on Your First Day of Propel Rx. These events are all designed to support you and provide the guidance you'll need in order to understand your pharmacy's upgrade to Propel Rx. Are you now wondering, "How do I know when my pharmacy will be getting Propel Rx. Which wave my store is in?
Let’s break it down, so that you have a clear view of the surf ahead.
Wave 1: Ontario and British Columbia currently in rollout This is the foundation of Propel Rx and will be available in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.

Wave 2: Beginning with Newfoundland in Spring 2024 The second wave will see an expansion into Atlantic Provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador. This wave also covers some additional features that wave 1 had to ride out.

Integration with an eMAR vendor (Electronic Medication Administration Record) 2. Integration with Amjay Software Solutions for services like Easy Refill, Central Profile, MethaMeasure, and others 3. Integration with Access Point by Pharmacy Access Solutions for services like Smoking Cessation, Injection Administration, and others 4. Stores that require Chinese instructions and auxiliary labels
Do I have to upgrade?You might even start asking yourself, “Hmm, do I have to upgrade to Propel Rx? I’m pretty comfortable with PharmaClik Rx.” The answer is simple: YES! Propel Rx is an upgrade to PharmaClik Rx, just like other upgrades in the past. This time, the difference is that we're upgrading the platform, making Propel Rx more user friendly and rebranding all our products and services. Propel Rx is a step forward in the growth of your business. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. |
