What is the Drug Information System
The Drug Information System is made up of two components:
1. A provincial ‘repository ‘ of medication information that lives in
SHARE (Stream 1)
– The repository contains a medication profile for every Nova
Scotian (and others) who has a prescription filled in a community
pharmacy in the province that is connected to DIS
2. A ‘portal’ to access the medication profile in the provincial
repository (Stream 2)
– The Drug Information System Portal is used to:
• Add information to or update information in a patient’s medication
profile
• Prescribe medications electronically (e-Prescribe)
Repository
DIS Portal
