The Australian Digital Health Agency has advised Electronic Prescribing will soon be available for practices who would like to send fully digital scripts to patients via SMS or email instead of traditional paper scripts.
The WA Primary Health Alliance Practice Support team will be contacting all practices with a checklist of requirements to help ensure that they are prepared to start using ePrescribing when it is released.
For further information on ePrescribing, please visit the Digital Health site or the Practice Assist Electronic Prescriptions page. You can also contact the My Health Record Team on myhealthrecord@wapha.org.au.
