SafeScript NSW – New approval management functionality

On-demand recorded 9 Apr 2024

SafeScript NSW is a real time prescription monitoring system for monitored medicines. The system is available to all prescribers and pharmacists in NSW.
 
NSW Health is continuing to improve the efficiency of regulation and monitoring of certain high-risk medicines.
 
NSW Health has extended SafeScript NSW functionality to help manage NSW approval applications to prescribe certain high risk medicines. The new functionality became available in November 2023 to allow prescribers to submit approval applications online (and in some cases, be issued approval immediately) and track application progress in efforts to reduce the turnaround time to receive an approval.  

Learning outcomes

  1. Utilise the SafeScript NSW system to understand existing and new functionality to inform best practice patient outcomes.
  2. Discuss the benefits of SafeScript NSW to review real-time prescription monitoring for certain high risk medicines and managing NSW approvals to prescribe S8 medicines in NSW.
  3. Discuss the NSW approval application process that was introduced in late 2023.
