Correspondence from Queensland Health re: QScript breach emails
AMA Queensland raised issues with Queensland Health in early February concerning the mass-emailing of doctors alleged to have breached QScript requirements.
The emails failed to identify the date/s and patient/s for whom the practitioners had allegedly breached the regulations so practitioners were unable to identify if the cause was practitioner error or QScript system failings. Queensland Health has now provided a response concerning the emails.
Update May 2023
Queensland Health’s Monitored Medicines Unit (MMU) has provided an updated response to AMA Queensland’s concerns about emails sent to doctors alleging they breached QScript requirements. The MMU’s letter also attached the latest data about practitioner use of QScript and the progress of the QScript Review.
The correspondence indicates there is still much work to be done to improve the functionality of QScript. AMA Queensland will continue to work with the Department to ensure the platform protects patients with the least burden possible on health practitioners.
