Real Time Prescription Monitoring – An Important Update

Real Time Prescription Monitoring (RTPM) is a clinical tool providing real-time monitored medicines prescription information for prescribers and pharmacists to support safer clinical decision-making.

The use of a Real Time Prescription Monitoring tool is mandatory in some states and it is important to check your state-based legislation to ensure you are complying with any requirements. Currently, RTPM is available for Victorian and South Australian users of Bp Premier, with other states expected to come on board within the next 12-18 months.

To access RTPM in an enabled state, users must be registered for eRx or MediSecure and have the functionality enabled via the User Preferences window as per below:

RTPM Availability by State: 

• Victoria – SafeScript
• New South Wales – SafeScript NSW
• Queensland – Q-Script
• South Australia – ScriptCheckSA
• Tasmania
• Western Australia
• ACT – CanberraScript
