What does ePrescribing mean for your pharmacy?

Electronic prescriptions will be seamlessly integrated into your Minfos dispense workflow

We are working on integrating electronic scripts within the Minfos Dispense workflow. So whether it is a paper or electronic prescription, your script workflow will remain the same, minimising the disruption to your current process.

Here is how you will dispense an electronic prescription in Minfos: • A customer presents their mobile displaying an electronic token for their prescription • Scan the token into Minfos’ new ePrescription dialog • Minfos will print the token out on to paper • Place the paper token into a script basket along with any other paper scripts • In the dispensary, scan the paper token into Minfos Dispense • Dispense the prescription as you would your paper scripts, referring to the original prescription details displayed in Minfos

In Minfos Dispense, you will be able to easily identify if a script is electronic or paper-based. You will also be able to access the original script details.

As the volume of electronic prescriptions grow, we will continue to evolve Minfos Dispense to meet the needs of your pharmacy today and tomorrow.

Checklist of things to consider

Review operational processes including providing staff training on ePrescribing

Ensure all staff scan the PES (prescription exchange service) barcode on the script rather than entering information manually

Keep your software and hardware up-to-date

Ensure doctors in your area are printing a PES barcode on the prescription

Whether it is a paper or electronic prescription, you can easily manage both with Minfos
