Melbourne’s Alfred Health has gone live with the SafeScript real-time prescription monitoring system in The Alfred’s emergency department, with plans to roll it out to all wards and outpatients in the next month.
The system is integrated into Alfred Health’s Cerner electronic medical record with a link to the Victorian instance of the National Data Exchange (NDE), allowing clinicians to be alerted if there is a concern about the patient relating to the drug that's been prescribed.
