What is ePrescribing?

ePrescribing replaces the need for paper prescriptions by enabling prescribing and dispensing of medicines to be completed electronically. 

The patient or their approved carer receives a token via SMS or email that can be passed to a pharmacy for dispensing. This paperless system helps preserve patient privacy and safety and reduces the risk of medication errors that can be caused by handwritten scripts.

MediRecords provides ePrescribing services to the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department, telemedicine clinics, specialists, and GPs across Australia. MediRecords is fully compliant with Electronic Prescribing 3.0 standards and is integrated with SafeScript in NSW and Victoria, as well as QScript in Queensland.

Key functionality

Evidence of tokenisation
 

Clinicians receive confirmation information has been sent to our eRx Script Exchange and a QR token with prescription details has been assigned successfully.

Discrete communications
 

Providers can send pharmacists extra instructions or discrete information using annotations. This is helpful when a full medication review or stacked supply
may be necessary.

Easier re-prescribing
 

There's minimal effort involved in repeat prescriptions. The provider can select
'ePrescribe regular medication' rather than completing the full ePrescribing workflow when a patient needs a repeat prescription.
