Signature Rx is a private electronic prescribing solution that enables healthcare providers to issue electronic private prescriptions for non-controlled drugs.
The Signature Rx platform creates an electronic prescription, with an electronic signature from the prescribing clinician.
Patients are sent the private script via SMS or Email. Prescriptions include a unique ID, which patients can present at national pharmacies for dispensing. There is also the facility for patients to request delivery of the medication directly from Signature Rx's own pharmacy (via post).
Clinicians can revoke prescriptions that haven't yet been dispensed, and receive alerts for dispensed scripts.
Hero's integration with Signature Rx enables users of EMIS Web to send medication issued in EMIS (through the EMIS Web medication module), as a private electronic script directly to the patient.
Clinicians using EMIS Web use Hero's Signature Rx integration to send private electronic prescriptions to patients.
Understand the flow from issuing medication in EMIS through to medication being dispensed
The prescribing clinician issues medication through the EMIS medication, saving the script once completed (there is no requirement to print the prescription).
Through the Hero toolbar or within the Hero browser based application, you create the electronic private script, populating it with the medication issued within EMIS. This is then sent to the patient via SMS or Email.
The patient visits a local pharmacy and presents the prescription ID for dispensing, or they can order the medication for delivery. An alert is sent back to the clinician once dispensed.
