Medication Chart

Eligible pharmacies servicing residential aged care facilities (RACF) can dispense medicines from a patient’s medication chart, instead of seeking individual prescriptions from a general practitioner for each item.

Chart Start Date: Indicates the starting date of the patient’s current medication chart. The new chart start date can be entered if a new medication chart is provided for the patient while an existing medication chart is still active.

Chart End Date (Read-only): Indicates the end date for the patient’s current medication chart

Duration:

• If the facility is a RACF, the Duration field is disabled as it is only relevant for public and private hospital settings.

• If the facility is a Hospital, the Duration field is enabled.
