NPS amps up eTP

September 14, 2011

NPS Australia is gearing up to work with pharmacies and general practices over the coming months, to raise awareness of electronic transfer of prescriptions as a tool for medication management. “Ensuring that medicines information can be shared is the foundation for a range of healthcare benefits for both prescribers and consumers,” said Dr Jonathan Dartnell, Executive Mgr Innovation and Learning at NPS. The NPS will also work with pharmacies and general practices using eTP to develop practical resources to facilitate uptake. MEANWHILE the NPS has also welcomed the eTP specifications recently developed by NEHTA. “The adoption of common standards and specifications will ensure users can easily send and receive prescription information between different systems,” Dartnell said.
