Electronic Prescribing
Patients can receive prescriptions electronically.
- In the Enter Dose window, 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.
- 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, then 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.
- 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, then email, and then printed
media.
