Below are some recent updates in the area of digital health for general practice, including telehealth, clearing up HPP vs NPP confusion and tips on digital self-defence.
Electronic Prescribing (Token model) has now been enabled in general practices using either Medical Director or Best Practice software.
Checklist for enablement: General Practice Checklist. Please ensure you communicate with your neighbouring pharmacies prior to your commencement of Electronic Prescribing, so they are aware they may receive a Token script.
A reminder that consumers may still prefer to have paper prescriptions, however, please ensure if providing a Token based prescription, that they are aware of the steps involved for dispensing. More information for prescribers can be found here.
