TASMANIA will join the rest of the country and connect to the national Real Time Prescription Monitoring (RTPM) service, when it moves to TasScript next month, replacing the DORA platform currently utilised by pharmacists across the state.
TasScript is a mandatory system that promises to arm healthcare professionals with critical information to make safer clinical decisions, and integrates into existing clinical and pharmacy software, enabling instant identification of potential risks.
It also marks a leap forward in the management of high-risk medications, and aims to showcase the state's leadership when it comes to employing digital health solutions to tackle contemporary healthcare challenges.
This integration ensures that healthcare providers can offer optimised care by accessing accurate and timely medication histories at the point of care.
Primary Health Tasmania will host a webinar about the new system on 11 Apr, with the talk to be led by several experts including Peter Boyles, Chief Pharmacist and Principal Advisor of medicines and poisons regulation.
Joining him will be Deputy Chief Pharmacist, Sam Halliday, as well as Rachel Rees, a patient-centred pharmacist and practice change consultant, and Angus Thompson, Pharmacist Clinical Editor at Primary Health Tasmania.
Dr Jonathan Choong, a GP Clinical Editor and practicing physician, will also present on the frontline application of TasScript, emphasising its importance in daily medical practice for safer patient outcomes. JG
