Paperless Electronic Prescribing

MedicalDirector has been working alongside the Department of Health and the Australian Digital Health Agency to fast track the implementation of electronic prescribing (ePrescribing) to help protect people in our community most at-risk from exposure to COVID-19. Electronic prescribing will allow patients to receive prescriptions electronically so that their medications can also be dispensed without the need for a patient to leave the safety of their home.

Workflow Changes

You can indicate whether the patient wants the medication to appear on their active script list.
When an item is marked as 'Script Owing' on the Enter Dose window, only paper tokens will be permitted (no SMS or email).
When an item is a Schedule 8 (S8) medication, you will be prompted for an approval / authority / warrant / permit number.
When an item is a Schedule 4B (NSW) or Schedule 4D (TAS) medication (e.g. TESTOSTERONE CREAM), altering the number of repeats activates the 'Days between repeats' field on the 'Drug Quantity & Repeats' window. This is existing behaviour for S8 items but was expanded to include the S4B and S4D.
The Prescription Preview window additionally provides the options to SMS or Email an electronic token or print a paper token.
- A suggested delivery method will be preselected for you. This selection is determined by information found in the patient's record, with priority going to SMS followed by Email and then Printed media.
  
  If the user has specified a Prescriber Type other than 'Medical Practitioner' or 'Nurse', and their state is either ACT or SA, 'Restricted Use For' information appears on prescriptions.
