ePharmacy

Electronic Prescribing and Dispensing in the Community

View the Electronic Prescribing and Dispensing demonstration model (Powerpoint, 2 MB)

Three key resources for ePharmacy include:
  • a New Zealand Medicines Reference System (which includes a medicines terminology, a universal medicines list and a national formulary)
  • an ePrescribing system
  • shared patient medication histories

This conceptual model aims to:
  • show how these three key resources work together
  • clarify aspects of HISAC’s ePharmacy vision and a number of terms
  • inform the Request for Proposal (RFP) process for implementation projects.

Further information will be posted on GETS (www.gets.govt.nz) regarding the RFP process during December 2008.
