Active Script List
We have added support for Active Script List. An Active Script List (ASL) allows a patient to manage their active electronic prescriptions without a token, paper, or electronic prescription.
In order to access ASL services, your pharmacy must have access to the government services listed in the Dependencies list. The ASL indicator and ASL status buttons are shown in several locations within Corum Clear Dispense, for more information about the ASL indicator click, Active Script List Indicators and Buttons.
In this release you can do the following:
- Register a patient

- Filter Active Script lists
- Generate Repeat Authorisations
