GPs and pharmacists will soon be able to exchange prescriptions electronically, with the partnering of medical software specialist Best Practice and national electronic prescriptions platform eRx Script Exchange.

eRx Script Exchange will enable GPs to send prescriptions electronically through a secure, encrypted gateway, for later retrieval from a patient’s pharmacy of choice.

According to practicing GP and CEO of Best Practice, Dr Frank Pyefinch, national electronic prescribing is a
significant milestone in improving communication between GPs and pharmacists.

“Electronic prescribing will improve the sharing of vital health information between GPs and pharmacists, leading to better coordination and management of patient care and medication for GPs and medical specialists. It will also reduce the risks associated with prescribing and administering drugs,” he said.

All doctors, medical facilities and pharmacies will be able to access eRx Script Exchange, no matter what
software they use. The Australia-wide launch is due by mid 2009.

eRx Script Exchange will be demonstrating the electronic prescription process at the Australian Pharmacy
Professionals Conference on the Gold Coast from 2-5 April 2009. Visit stands 145,151 for a demonstration.
