Manage multiple electronic prescriptions using the Active Script List 

Do you take multiple medications? If so, you may find it useful to set up an Active Script List (ASL). An ASL is a digital list of your electronic prescriptions. The advantage of having an ASL is that you don't have to keep track of each electronic prescription token.

To set up your ASL, you will need to visit your pharmacy. Take your mobile phone and 100 points of identification, such as a passport, birth certificate, driving licence, Centrelink card or Medicare card. The pharmacy will set up the service for you. You will be asked to consent to the service after reviewing and agreeing to the terms and conditions.

Currently, 85% of pharmacies across Australia now have access to the ASL and can dispense your medicines, providing you have given them permission.

Hi Community, Just to weigh in on this discussion post, my wife and I have all our scripts loaded to an App operated by our Pharmacy called Med Advisor. I can use my phone to organise the dispensing of my medications/e-scripts/photos of new scripts, etc. I can then pick up or have them delivered for a small fee plus I can see all the scripts loaded under our separate names plus order non prescription drugs. It is a useful tool for those situations when doctors or nurses say "what drugs are you on?"
