PHARMACY IT service provider, Fred IT, is launching a new workflow platform, to help pharmacies manage the dispensing changes, which will occur with the introduction of electronic prescribing is introduced later this year.
Electronic prescribing means that patients will be able to present their prescription electronically using a mobile phone, email message, or other pharmacy app, in addition to the traditional paper script.
The new workflow platform -- called MedView Flow -- addresses this problem by bringing paper-based and electronic scripts into the one electronic workflow (or queue).
Fred IT CEO, Paul Naismith, said the new workflow would support the transition to a digital healthcare environment.
"We want to ensure that all Australian pharmacies can be on the front foot with this change, both meeting the Australian Government's expectation that pharmacies are ready and offering their patients the convenience digital scripts deliver," he said.
"Fred strongly supports Australia's move to electronic prescribing, which brings real flexibility for pharmacy patients to decide how they want to present their scripts."
