DIGITAL medicines management company MedAdvisor has announced it will be integrating with the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) to support and streamline recording requirements for community pharmacy.
MedAdvisor CEO Robert Read commented, "MedAdvisor is focused on continuously improving our PlusOne product offering to help pharmacies deliver vital services to their customers.
"The integration with the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) plays a large part of this process by reducing the manual administration of reporting."
Work is now under way on the priority project, with the aim of adding the functionality in time for the next flu season in winter 2019.
Pharmacies using the MedAdvisor PlusOne platform recorded more than 100,000 flu vaccinations this year, Read said.
The direct integration into the AIR will make pharmacists even quicker and more efficient as the system capitalises on automation, also tightening accuracy, he added, removing the time-consuming double handling of patient data.
AIR compliance is an important step for pharmacy to demonstrate its suitability in providing many vaccinations in the future, also building patient confidence in their medical records, Read noted, with the addition allowing pharmacists more time to spend on important conversations with their patients.
