Join us on Monday 14 September at 6.30pm for the FPM South Australia's September webinar “Real Time Prescription Monitoring (RTPM) update and feedback”.

Presenter

The webinar will be hosted by Kerin Montgomerie, manager of the Drugs of Dependence Unit SA Health and SA’s RTPM system, ScriptCheckSA.

Meeting summary

In 2018, the State Government committed $7.5 million over three years to implement a Real Time Prescription Monitoring (RTPM) system in South Australia (SA).

SA’s RTPM system, ScriptCheckSA will help address prescription forgery, misuse and doctor-shopping relating to controlled drugs and will provide real-time information to prescribers and pharmacists about a patient’s use of potentially harmful controlled medicines when they are considering prescribing or supplying these medicines.
 
The Manager, Drugs of Dependence Unit and RTPM Project Manager, Kerin Montgomerie will be providing an update on the project and seeking your feedback about the referral pathways for GPs when patients require pain specialist input. This feedback will help the Project Team to ensure that the correct advice is captured in the ScriptCheckSA training and education for prescribers and pharmacists. A covering paper, including the specific feedback being sought will be circulated closer to the meeting.
