Creek Road General Practice is now online with QScript, which is Queensland’s new real-time prescription monitoring system, aiming to improve safety in prescribing and use of medication.

All Queensland health practitioners are required by law to check QScript for patient records before:

prescribing a monitored medicine
dispensing a monitored medicine
giving a treatment dose of a monitored medicine

Whilst this will give the doctor writing a script a clear view of when medications have been prescribed and dispensed, and hopefully will reduce medication errors and overuse, it also adds a further step in prescribing many medications. Given this, all scripts will require an appointment with your doctor.

For more information on Qscript, please see the Queensland Health website.
