Notifications

Each time you prescribe or dispense a monitored medicine, a Canberra Script notification will display to indicate the estimated risk based on the patient's monitored medicine history. Click the notification to open the patient's profile in the Canberra Script portal.

If your prescribing or dispensing software provider has integrated with Canberra Script, you can receive real-time Canberra Script notifications directly in your clinical software, before finalising a prescription.
