Northwest Health Now Offers E-Scripts
An e-script is a digital and paperless version of a prescription for medications issued by a healthcare provider. This digital approach streamlines the prescribing process, reducing errors, enhancing security, and enabling efficient communication between healthcare providers and pharmacists.
If you opt for an electronic prescription, your doctor will send it via SMS or email to your mobile phone. The message will contain a link to a Token/QR Code with your prescription details. Each script has a distinct QR code, which the pharmacy of your choice scans so your medication can be dispensed.
Benefits of Using E-Scripts:
- Convenience – Easily receive and access prescriptions via SMS or email.
- Reduced Errors – Minimises mistakes related to handwriting or lost paper prescriptions.
- Efficiency – Faster processing at pharmacies, reducing wait times.
- Eco-Friendly – Reduces paper waste and promotes sustainability.
- Secure – Ensures prescriptions are safely stored and less likely to be misplaced.
- Ideal for Chronic Patients – Simplifies prescription management for those requiring regular medication.
For those who may not feel comfortable using e-scripts, Northwest Health still provides traditional paper prescriptions. This ensures that all patients have access to their medication in a way that suits their individual needs.
