Introduction to electronic prescribing

On-demand recorded 8 Jun 2020
Changes have been made to legislation to recognise electronic prescriptions as a legal document. Electronic prescribing allows for the prescribing and dispensing of medicines without the need for a paper prescription, which can improve efficiency and medicines safety.
This webinar introduces the new, optional model of prescribing and the changes it will bring for you and your patients. Delivered with support from the Australian Digital Health Agency, this session will help you prepare for the roll-out of electronic prescribing later in 2020.
