Better availability and access to prescriptions and medicines information is a key priority listed in the National Digital Health Strategy.
Electronic prescriptions or eScripts allow healthcare professionals to prescribe and dispense medicines without the need for a paper prescription. eScripts can help to reduce the risk of lost paper prescriptions, while also lessening the administrative burden for organisations.
Electronic prescriptions can be sent securely and efficiently to a patient’s mobile phone number or email as a ‘token’ or be added to an Active Script List (ASL).
