Prescription module
Prescription: the continuation of the examination record, not a separate ledger
When the prescription written after an examination sits apart from the health surveillance file, neither the physician sees the history in one place nor can the record be found later. This page describes the planned scope for the prescription record.
This page is written for occupational physicians, health personnel and the OHS teams that run the health surveillance file.
What the scope covers
- In the same file as the examinationThe aim is for the prescription record to sit in the same health surveillance file as the pre-employment or periodic examination record.
- Clear about who wrote itShowing which physician wrote the prescription, and under which assignment, is part of the planned scope.
- Repeated prescriptionsThe aim is for repeated prescriptions for the same worker to be followed in a single list and read back over time.
- Separate rights on health dataKeeping health data visible only to authorised health personnel is observed while the permission design is drawn up.
- Output and archiveThe plan is to keep the printed prescription and its archive record in the same order as the other health surveillance documents.
