## Pharmacy regulator

**College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (CPhM).** CPhM's public directory is a field search that returns a limited number of results by design, with no export. PharmFlow does not carry CPhM register data.

## Public drug plan

**Manitoba Pharmacare.** Manitoba Pharmacare is the provincial drug program. PharmFlow carries no Manitoba formulary data.

## Health number

**Manitoba Personal Health Number (PHN).** PharmFlow's patient identifier table includes the Manitoba PHN. It encodes no check-digit rule for it.

## What PharmFlow does not do in Manitoba

- The CPhM register is search-only, so PharmFlow's pharmacy reference data does not include Manitoba pharmacies.
- No Manitoba drug plan formulary is loaded.
