SafeScript will enable doctors and pharmacists to make safer clinical decisions and identify circumstances where patients may be receiving high-risk medicines beyond medical need.
It is computer software that allows prescription records for some high-risk medicines to be transmitted in real-time to a centralised database which can then be accessed by doctors and pharmacists during a consultation.
SafeScript is being implemented with an initial focus on the Western Victoria Primary Health Network catchment area before being extended to the rest of Victoria in early 2019.
