SADIE 2.0 Now Available – with Designates

Introducing SADIE 2.0
The Exceptional Access Program Digital Assistant – now with designates!
The Ministry of Health understands that fast approvals are important to patients and prescribers awaiting Exceptional Access Program (EAP) decisions for Ontario Drug Benefits. That’s why we launched SADIE (the Special Authorization Digital Information Exchange) in 2019. After more than a year of operation, we are pleased to inform you that SADIE’s intuitive digital platform has successfully reduced application errors by 75% and cut EAP decision times by an average of 50% compared to fax requests.
Now we are excited to introduce the even more responsive SADIE 2.0. Those involved in the creation and submission of EAP requests told us that allowing designates to use the system was critical – we listened.
Prescribers can now assign designates to prepare EAP requests for their review and submission.
For more information about designates and instructions on setting up designates’ accounts, see the Quick Reference – How to Set-up a Designate guide.
