eRx consumer script app
June 21, 2013
ERX Script Exchange this morning
revealed the planned launch of a
smartphone application, which wil
allow customers to scan their own
scripts and order medicines directly
from their pharmacy of choice.
Set for release in Oct this year,
the “eRx Express” app will work by
scanning the QR code which will
begin to appear on prescriptions,
replacing the current eRx barcode
information.
Customers can then collect their
medicine at a convenient date and
time, handing over the paper script
at the same time to ensure that all
PBS requirements are met.
Fred IT Group ceo Paul Naismith
said the eHealth innovation would
safely and securely link into the
eRx Script Exchange network and
integrate directly with pharmacy
dispensing systems, eliminating the
need to re-key data.
He said it also has the potential
to “revolutionise the dispensing
workflow,” allowing pharmacies to
distribute dispensing across the day
and reduce pharmacy waiting time.
Guild National President, Kos
Sclavos, said the creation of the
app is “an important and exciting
development for health care
consumers and for pharmacies”.
eRx Express will be previewed
at this weekend’s NSW Pharmacy
National Convention & Exhibition,
and pharmacies can register their
interest at erx.com.au/EXPRESS.
