MAPflow vs Pharmapod: FAQs

Can I migrate my existing Pharmapod data to MAPflow?
Yes. MAPflow provides data migration assistance. We work with you to export historical incident data from Pharmapod and import it into MAPflow. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on your data volume. Your team won't lose any historical incident information.
How does MAPflow's CQI dashboard differ from Pharmapod's reporting?
MAPflow's dashboard updates as reports are completed: you see incident trends, top incident types, contributing factors and Quick Win suggestions for any period, without generating a report. This means faster decision-making and more agile CQI programs compared to platforms that require manual report generation.
What if we use Pharmapod for other provinces besides Ontario and BC?
MAPflow currently specializes in Ontario (AIMS) and BC (CIRCL) compliance. If your pharmacy operates in multiple provinces, contact our team about custom configurations or integration solutions. We're expanding province-by-province based on regulatory requirements.
Is switching from Pharmapod to MAPflow difficult?
No. You can create your account and start reporting right away, with no implementation wait, and run both systems side by side while your team settles in. MAPflow provides onboarding and guidance, and training time depends on your team's familiarity and needs. Ontario pharmacy staff must also complete OCP's AIMS e-Learning modules by January 1, 2027.
How does pricing compare?
MAPflow prices Incident Reporting per pharmacy, not per user: $240 per pharmacy per year, or $216 for MAPflow Clinical Services customers, billed annually. One subscription covers all of the pharmacy's users and includes up to one ISMP Canada MSSA per subscription year. Pharmapod uses a different pricing model.
What's your commitment if I switch to MAPflow?
We stand behind our platform. You get full implementation support, staff training, and ongoing access to our Canadian support team. We're invested in your success. Contact us to discuss the specific terms for your pharmacy.
