National Prescription and Dispense Repository

You can view patient medication data on My Health Record through Communicare.

Access the National Prescription and Dispense Repository (NPDR) through the My Health Record.

If the patient gives consent, you can upload patient medication data to the patient's My Health Record via eRx.

Accessing NPDR in Communicare

Ensure that Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions is enabled. To verify that ETP is enabled, select File > System Parameters > Clinical tab. The eRx adapter URL should be valid. If not, see ETP for instructions on registering for the service.
Ensure that the Accessing My Health Record in Communicare module is enabled, and that the user has access. To enable My Health Record, select File > System Parameters > System tab and set My Health Record Access.

Sending the Medication Details to NPDR

From the prescription details window, accessed through the clinical record, you can send medication details to NPDR.

The medication details are not sent until the ETP Prescription is printed.

Viewing Medication Details

To display the My Health Record Prescription and Dispense View, either:

In the Patient eHealth Record window, click View Medications
In the clinical record, on the Summary > Medication Summary tab, click View My Health Record Medications.

For more information, see My Health Record Prescription and Dispense View.

If the My Health Record access code has already been entered once on the clinical record to access the My Health Record or My Health Record Prescription and Dispense View, you won't be prompted for this again.
