THIRD PARTY AND ASSOCIATED COSTS

Some data preparation services may result in related third-party costs. Currently, these include PharmaNet data extracts, BC Ministry of Health Services encryption and decryption services, and Vital Statistics clinical data extracts.

PharmaNet
PharmaNet is a province-wide network that links all BC pharmacies to a central set of data systems. It supports drug dispensing, drug monitoring and claims processing. The PharmaNet system contains data related to both medications dispensed and PharmaCare claims. All prescription medications dispensed by community pharmacies in BC are recorded in the PharmaNet system.

Although the PharmaNet data is not part of the Population Data BC holdings at this time, it can be linked to data held by Population Data BC. To request access to PharmaNet data, you need to apply separately to the PharmaNet Stewardship Committee under the BC Ministry of Health Services. Please contact Researcher Liaison for details.
