Prescription Transfer

Come Join The Hyde Park Care Family!

How it Works?

1. Transfers occur between “pharmacies” with members responsible for the transfer.

2. A prescription shall be transferred from a pharmacy upon the request of the patient or a person acting on behalf of the patient. (O. Reg. 264/16, s. 5)

  • Where refills exist, a pharmacy must transfer a prescription when requested
  • A person acting on behalf of the patient includes a member acting on behalf of the patient

The consent to transfer is implied and there is no need for a pharmacy to contact the patient to verify the transfer when the request comes from a member acting on behalf of a patient. Delaying a transfer for this reason interferes with continuity of care.

3. The Public Hospitals Act Regulation 965 addresses transfers and prescriptions/orders in a hospital.

4. A prescription may be transferred either under the signature of a member who is practising at the pharmacy transferring the prescription or verbally by a member who is practising at the pharmacy making the transfer.

5. A prescription can be transferred either by signature or verbally to,

  • If the pharmacy is in Ontario, a member who is practising at the pharmacy where the prescription will be transferred.
  • If the pharmacy is outside of Ontario, a person who is authorized to practise pharmacy at the pharmacy where the prescription will be transferred.
