Do You Know Patients Who Are Struggling to Find a Family Doctor? 

You’re not alone. It is estimated that nearly 6.5 million Canadians do not have access to basic healthcare support. This lack of accessibility has contributed to overcrowded emergency rooms and longer wait times for primary care. Among patients without a primary care provider, 24% will go to the ER for non-urgent health issues while only 14% go to pharmacists. We want this to change.

To address the healthcare access gap, MedEssist's Access to Care (ATC) program is designed to empower pharmacists to assess and provide medications and medical supplies for specific conditions. This initiative enables pharmacies to establish collaborative practice agreements with medical professionals, expanding pharmacists' drug therapy management capabilities and transforming pharmacies into pharmacist-led clinics.

How it works   

Step 1 - Patient Intake

Offer seamless, convenient access via your website. Patients can easily book appointments and complete a digital intake form online or in-store, ensuring that you have all the essential information for safe and efficient care. 

Step 2 - Guided Assessment

Streamline your assessment process with our interactive workflows (digitized medical directives), which organizes patient data into clinical assessment forms. These forms include the latest clinical guidelines, to help guide you through the assessment process.

Step 3 - Guided Dispensing

Easily dispense medications and medical supplies with built-in safeguards, like present treatment options, red-flag alerts, and mandatory follow-ups for patient safety.

By following these steps, you can transform your pharmacy into a pharmacist-led clinic - expanding patient care, building loyalty, and diversifying revenue without additional staffing or renovations!
