FRED IT Group and the Australian Medicines Handbook have announced a partnership which will provide users of the cloud-based solution Fred NXT system with direct access to the Australian Medicines Handbook (AMH) medicines information.
The enhancement became available yesterday, meaning Fred NXT pharmacies with a subscription to AMH Online are now able to directly access AMH content from their Fred NXT app bar whilst they are dispensing.
Fred IT ceo Paul Naismith said the move means pharmacists will be able to access relevant information about the drugs they are dispensing as they are doing so, supporting informed and efficient dispensing and prescribing.
"This partnership with the Australian Medicines Handbook is a fantastic example of how health and IT can work together to strengthen medication information systems whilst protecting the interests of health professionals and patients," Naismith added.
AMH gm David Dart said the new partnership with Fred was based on mutual goals of strengthening medication information systems and promoting the quality use of medicines information in Australia.
"It is an important step in increasing the number of health professionals who have streamlined access to secure, up-to-date medicines information available to them during their work," he said.
