Electronic prescribing allows healthcare providers and consumers to use an electronic prescription as an alternative to paper prescriptions.
Electronic prescribing provides greater choice for consumers and the other benefits include more efficient prescribing and dispensing of medicines, reducing prescribing and dispensing errors, medication errors, supports medication charts in hospitals and RACHs etc
An Active Script List (ASL) is a digital list of a patient’s electronic prescriptions. Once registered, patients no longer need to keep track of each electronic prescription token. The ASL allows patients to attend any participating pharmacy, provide consent for the pharmacy to access their list, and have that pharmacy dispense their medicines.
Once patients register at a pharmacy for an ASL, any electronic prescriptions they are issued are automatically added to their ASL.
