Information for your patients

The National Allergy Council encourages people with an allergy (and their carers) to add information about serious and life-threatening allergies, if this information is missing in their My Health Record. We have developed the following guides in consultation with ASCIA members on the Working Group and Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia. If your practice or hospital clinical information system does not currently upload patient information into My Health Record, you can support your patients to add the information themselves by providing them with a copy of these guides.

Electronic Prescriptions

Your patients can choose to have their prescription sent to their mobile phone instead of receiving a paper prescription. They can also set up an Active Script List which lists all of their prescriptions on their mobile phone.
