GUILDLINK today announced a new release of its GuildCare NG pharmacy software platform, which now includes a seamless integration with the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
Recording patient vaccination statements via the AIR is mandatory for pharmacist immunisers in Tasmania, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and is also recommended as best practice in all other states and territories.
GuildLink says its new integration with the AIR is the first of its kind in Australian pharmacy, and brings pharmacy vaccination reporting into line with other immunisation settings.
"Ensuring direct integration into the AIR gives pharmacists more time with their patients, as reporting requirements are made easier and faster," said acting GuildLink ceo, Jannine Johnson.
"We're delivering software to make it easier and more efficient for a pharmacy to deliver immunisation services," she said.
The innovation removes time-consuming double-handling of patient data and eliminates possible sources of error, with the cloud-based technology ensuring data is securely and accurately uploaded to AIR with no further reporting required for pharmacy staff, Johnson added.
Pharmacies which are already registered as immunisation providers with the AIR can utilise the new GuildLink integration effective immediately.
