Real time prescription monitoring

A real time prescription monitoring (RTPM) system provides medical practitioners with accurate and timely information regarding their patient’s medication history to help them make more informed clinical decisions at the point of care. Real time prescription monitoring systems play a key role in reducing the growing harm associated with misuse or abuse of controlled medicines. 

Doctors, pharmacists and nurse practitioners must all check with the RTPM system in their jurisdiction while prescribing or dispensing monitored drugs as per the state/territory regulations.

RTPM across Australia

Fred IT Group has implemented RTPM systems across all jurisdictions in Australia including SafeScript (Vic), QScript, ScriptCheckSA, Canberra Script and SafeScript NSW, NTScript, ScriptCheckWA and TasScript.

All RTPM systems will integrate with the National Data Exchange (NDE). To ensure prescription data is being transferred to the NDE, pharmacies should ensure they are connected to a PES and register for RTPM in their jurisdiction. Register for eRx>

SafeScript NSW

National Data Exchange (NDE)

The National Data Exchange is a commonwealth government initiative to allow Australian state and territory jurisdictions to provide real time prescription monitoring for their clinicians. The NDE receives the prescribing and dispensing details and acts as a data repository for all jurisdictions and is set-up to prevent cross-border misuse of controlled drugs.

Progressing as a federated model, the jurisdictions are integrating their regulatory systems with the NDE and the individual states and territories are responsible for ensuring appropriate regulations are in place to enable RTPM. The monitored medicines list is in accordance with the states rules and regulations.

Watch ePrescriptions in action

What our customers think

  • “eRx allows my practitioners to send prescriptions electronically directly to the patient, so they instantly have their prescription. It saves admin time faxing and posting, and allows us more time to focus on helping our patients.”
    – Char MacDonald - Abermain Surgery and NSW/ACT AAPM Committee Member
  • “We love using eRx. It’s great when those barcodes come through, scanning them makes dispensing so much easier. eRx improves patient safety by reducing transcription errors which is important to us.”
    – Alex Keipert - Pharmacy Owner - Mudgee NSW
  • “I commend eRx and ePrescriptions, as it has reduced my workload of printing a minimum of over 100 scripts every week, in addition to having to sign each script twice and having to handwrite the details of the S8 scripts. Also the Real Time Prescription Monitoring (RTPM) has helped in checking the status with restricted scripts.”
    – Dr Mario Fernando - Principal GP at Lima Medical Pty Ltd, Bendigo VIC
  • “Just a note to tell you how happy I am with eRx and ePrescriptions. When I scan prescriptions all the information is immediately there and it saves so much time. Also, ctg scripts are caught, (which often get missed as I notice from repeats we get from other pharmacies), which allows us to provide a more efficient service to our customers.”
    – Glenna Hinschen - Proserpine Pharmacy
