The Canview 2.0 upgrade is now live for pharmacists!

Exciting changes have come to the Canview platform to further streamline the alternative medicine prescription and dispensing process.

With a brand new look and a range of intuitive new features, Canview 2.0 is designed to make ordering easier and faster for pharmacists, improve the prescribing process and help patients better navigate and track their treatment journey.

In September 2022, the first phase of the launch was rolled out with new updates to the pharmacy platform, which will improve the dispensing process for the thousands of Australian pharmacies already filling plant-based medicine scripts with Canview.

What is Canview 2.0?

Canview 2.0 is an intuitive new system with a brand new look that can integrate with pharmacy dispensing and clinical software to streamline plant-based medicine prescriptions for pharmacists, prescribers and patients.

The new upgrade will help cater to the growing number of alternative medicine prescriptions in Australia, bringing pharmacists, prescribers and patients together in one streamlined platform.

The platform upgrades will be rolled out in three different phases, with the pharmacy software being updated first.

Phase 1: Upgrade to pharmacy platform

Following the updates to the pharmacy platform, Canview 2.0 will also be rolled out for prescribers.

Some of the new features doctors can expect with Canview 2.0 include:

  • Integrations with practice management software to improve and streamline prescribing processes
  • The functionality to generate and manage prescriptions directly through Canview
  • The ability to view up-to-date stock levels during consultations to prescribe in-stock products
  • The ability to keep TGA approval documentation in one place and easily send approvals direct to pharmacy alongside electronic prescriptions

Both prescribers and pharmacists can guarantee that their patients’ personal data is safe with them. We are committed to collecting data securely, with anonymised personal patient information that is not shared.

Phase 3: Canview 2.0 patient app

The final phase of the Canview 2.0 upgrade will include a new app released to eligible plant-based therapy patients which will allow for easy tracking of their treatment journey.

The new app will help patients navigate the alternative medicine prescription process by allowing them to do the following:

  • Connect with plant-based medicine prescribers
  • Receive, track and manage their prescriptions
  • Receive order delivery notifications through the mobile app and via SMS
  • Easily order repeats direct from the pharmacy

Please note, the Canview app will only be available to eligible patients with a plant-based medicine prescription who have been approved by the TGA. For information on alternative medicine access for consumers, visit the TGA website.
