Following AMA advocacy, the Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) confirmed SMS costs for electronic script tokens will continue to be subsidised by.
Pharmacy specialist IT solutions provider platform Fred IT has created an electronic prescription solution using Twilio’s Programmable Messaging API and Twilio Studio.
e-Prescriptions allow patients who have registered for My Script List (MySL) to order their prescriptions with their local pharmacy via WhatsApp.
In order to legalise electronic prescriptions, the Melbourne-based provider needed to build a new system, which would usually take up to six months, it said in a release about the project.
To streamline the process, it implemented Twilio’s Programmable Messaging API, reducing the time from concept to market to eight weeks.
The release outlined that Fred IT chose Twilio as its solution was programmable rather than out-of-the-box. This allowed Fred IT to develop the system in the way that it needed to meet safety requirements.
