As electronic prescriptions continue to be a valuable component of healthcare delivery across Australia, the Active Script List (ASL) is now a widely available token management solution with over 80,000 patients registered. It can simplify the experience of using electronic prescriptions especially for patients taking multiple medicines, be a useful alternative for script on file customers and help resolve issues around missing tokens. In this webinar, the Agency will be joined by guest speaker, Karalyn J Huxhagen, BPharm FPS AACPA, who will provide insights on integrating ASL into the pharmacy workflow. Any questions about electronic prescriptions are welcome and will be answered during the session.

The webinar is open to all community pharmacy staff members (including pharmacy and dispensary assistants, technicians and pharmacists).
