ePrescribing Resources

With the challenges pharmacies have had recently, it is sometimes hard to keep up with new rules and regulations surrounding ePrescribing. The Te Whatu Ora ePrescription Service webpage is a good source of information. Particularly relevant are the pages on:

• new rules for electronic prescriptions
• ePrescriptions for controlled drugs
• signature exempt prescriptions, and
• secure messaging

All these pages have documents that can be downloaded and printed, so they can be read and referred to when required.
