The major improvements in this release are the ability to issue an electronic prescription to a patient and also to directly order lab test from the main laboratories. The full release notes are available from the following link: SPM Release Notes 414.2 Electronic Prescriptions (NZ)The electronic prescription function in the Incisive application incorporates a number of functions that demonstrate interoperability with health services.
The usual capability to save frequently issued medicines as Favourites and to easily issue a repeat prescription, are still available. Feedback from the clinicians and patients who have been trialling the option, has been very positive. The NZePS function needs to be configured for each prescriber and there are a number of regulatory identifiers and authorisations you are required to have, before the option can be enabled for you. Health NZ state that the existing temporary authorisation for non-NZePS signature-exempt prescriptions is planned to expire on 31 October 2024. As the NZePS option takes some time to configure and implement for each prescriber, we recommend that you contact the Incisive Helpdesk to get a list of the requirements and also to book a time for it to be enabled. As this is a special service, there may be a charge for the time involved. For Australian clients, your prescription broking service is the same as is used in New Zealand and we expect to be able to proceed with this feature for you in the near future. Online lab ordering (NZ)Awanui, Pathlab and Medlab Central have all made their online test ordering portal available for specialists using the Incisive application. Incisive can pass through the patient and provider details to their portal, which is then included with the test you order. Each lab requires you to register to use their eOrder portal. Please use the following links to complete their onboarding process. | |
