A new online service is looking to eradicate the problem of deciphering doctors’ handwriting. developed by healthcare, technology and services company Clanwilliam Group, eScript is a notification service that safely sends a secure notification of the prescription details directly from the GP’s computer to the patient’s chosen pharmacy. While it does not replace the traditional signed paper prescription, it means that the pharmacy can start preparing the prescription before the patient gets there, cutting waiting and speeding up the dispensing process.
Jennifer Hughes, director of marketing, Clanwilliam Group (pictured), said: “The intention of eScript is to demonstrate how technology can facilitate the seamless flow of prescription information between GP and pharmacy systems in Ireland. How the service further develops will be determined by the ongoing feedback from our customers.”
In addition to eScript, the Clanwilliam Group is collaborating with eHealth Ireland to bring its eReferrals system into general use, allowing GPs to refer patients to hospitals using an electronic system that is populated automatically from their existing practice management software. The referral form is approved by HIQA and the system has been built with patient privacy in mind. Clanwilliam Group has been delivering EPS Services to their customer base in the UK for over a decade in partnership with the NHS and HSCIC.
