Under the National Health Plan for COVID-19, the Australian Government has accelerated the delivery of electronic prescribing. The rollout of the token (or QR barcode) solution will be progressively available from the end of May 2020.
Over the coming weeks, North Coast PHN staff will be working with general practices, AMS and pharmacies to help get our region ready for this exciting change to medication supply.
A significant amount of work has already been done with clinical software vendors to ensure that necessary upgrades to both pharmacy and prescriber software can be done quickly.
Visit the ADHA’s webpages for more details including the Readiness Checklist (halfway down the page) as well as a number of Frequently Asked Questions.
Factsheets and upcoming webinars will also be published via our North Coast PHN website and newsletters.
