Authorised prescribers can create, send and manage ePrescriptions in Zanda, with patient details automatically synced.
AUSTRALIA — Zanda, the global healthcare practice management platform supporting more than 44,000 users, has launched an e-prescribing integration with Parchment, now available across Australia to authorised prescribers, including psychiatrists, dentists and endorsed podiatrists and optometrists.
The integration brings electronic prescribing into Zanda’s existing practice management platform, connecting prescription management with the patient records many practitioners already use and prefer.
Bringing electronic prescribing into everyday practice workflows
For Australian health practices, prescribing medication can involve switching between separate systems and manually entering patient information already held in clinical records. This adds administrative work and increases the risk of data entry errors.
With Parchment integrated into Zanda, prescribers can access electronic prescribing from a patient’s record using single sign-on. Patient information, including contact details, Medicare and Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) details, carries over automatically to help maintain consistent records.
“Our focus has always been on making the everyday work of running a health practice easier,” said Damien Adler, Zanda co-founder, psychologist and best-selling author. “Prescribing medication is an important part of patient care, and the technology supporting it should fit naturally into a practitioner’s day. By integrating Parchment with Zanda, we’re helping practitioners manage prescriptions more efficiently without disrupting the way they work.”
This integration means that prescribing health practices can now;
- Sync patient records: Create or link patient profiles in Parchment using existing information from Zanda, with updates reflected automatically.
- Prescribe medications: Launch Parchment from the Zanda client record and access its built-in MIMS medicines database.
- Send prescriptions: Deliver electronic prescription tokens containing secure QR codes via SMS or email for patients to present at a pharmacy.
- Manage prescriptions: Cancel or amend prescriptions through Parchment, subject to applicable requirements.
- Access monitoring systems: Connect with state prescription monitoring services, including SafeScript (Victoria), QScript (Queensland) and ScriptCheckSA (South Australia).
- Manage permissions: Provide prescribing access to authorised clinicians and view-only access to other permitted team members.
One practitioner shared their experience using the integration:
“This has been a great product. It has made prescribing so much easier for myself and more reliable for clients,” said Dr Yolandie Goodyear, from NewPsych Psychologists.
Available now for Australian practices
The Parchment integration is available to Australian Zanda users and can be activated through the platform’s add-ons, with subscription options and prescribing permissions managed according to practitioner requirements.
Electronic prescribing joins more than 100 Zanda features that support practice operations, including appointment scheduling, billing, telehealth and BizzyAI, the platform’s AI-powered assistant for clinical documentation and written communications.
