What is Electronic Prescribing? šŸ“²

Electronic Prescribing allows our practice to quickly & safely provide you with scripts for your prescription medications, without exposing you to unnecessary extra risk to COVID-19.Ā šŸ’ŠšŸ©ŗ

.

Hereā€™s how it all works!

1. Book a consultation or request a repeat for your long-standing scripts using our form online šŸ’»

  • Click the link below for our repeat prescription application form https://www.ashburtonfamilypractice.com.au/request-repeat-scripts

  • Please note that this request will be forwarded to your relevant Doctor and will be processed accordingly.

  • The doctor may decide to call you based on your medical history.

2. Receive Your Script via Email or Text Message to your smartphone šŸ“§ 3. Click the Link To Access your eScript TokenĀ šŸ“³

  • An eScript Token is a unique code that ensures that our doctorā€™s digital signature for your script is secure, and can be used only by youĀ 

  • It acts like a ā€œkeyā€ that allows your doctor to communicate your prescription details directly to the pharmacist, and will help REDUCE the risk of errors (such as dosing, strength or instructions)Ā 

  • If you lose your token, please call us so that we can cancel the script & provide you with another one

4. Attend Your Local Pharmacy to Receive Your MedicationĀ šŸ„

  • We advise that you call your local pharmacy prior to attending, to ensure that they accept eScripts .Ā  Most of our local pharmacies are now onboard with this.Ā

Ta-da! Itā€™s that simple!Ā šŸŒŸšŸ™ŒšŸ½šŸ¤©

We hope that you take advantage of this convenient system. If you have any more questions, feel free to book a Telehealth Appointment with us at any time, and we can explain further šŸ‘©šŸ½ā€āš•ļøšŸ©ŗ
