CPS / RxTx 2 Renewal 2017-2018 [1]
In 2015 e-CPS and e-Therapeutics+ were moved to a new interface and were both renamed RxTx. For the purpose of e-HLbc's license renewal, we will now refer to the products as CPS (fomerly e-CPS) and RxTx 2 (formerly e-Therapeutics+).

To CANCEL, JOIN, or CHANGE OPTIONS, libraries should contact e-HLbc by March 24, 2017.
Late members are welcome to join this license, and will be pro-rated to the common renewal date.
Pricing is now available for the 6 month extension (April 1 - September 30 2017) of the Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) online Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties (CPS formerly e-CPS) and RxTx 2 (formerly e-Therapeutics+ which includes e-CPS & Therapeutic Choices). Pricing for both products increased by 5% over last year's pricing.
Background: After multiple conversations, CPhA has agreed to extend e-HLbc’s current license for 6 months at a 5% increase while we continue our negotiations regarding the impending pricing model change. While 5% is above what we would typically accept, future pricing changes will likely be significantly higher. Therefore, even a 5% increase in the short term will save our institutions hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars while we continue our negotiations.
