QScript
The QScript vendor has advised Queensland Health of the need to perform maintenance activities in the coming days. As a result, QScript may not be accessible at certain times during the following outage windows (all AEST):
- Thu 4 July 2024 between 9.00 pm and 5.00 am the following day
- Sun 7 July 2024 between 8.00 am and 3.00 pm (registration portal only)
- Tue 9 July 2024 between 9.00 pm and 5.00 am the following day
If you are unable to check QScript when required (e.g. due to a QScript outage) you should:
- make a clinical judgement about appropriate treatment based on the information available to you
- document that you were unable to access QScript and the reason why.
The decision on whether to prescribe or supply a monitored medicine for a patient remains with you (as the relevant practitioner) at all times, regardless of whether you have been able to access QScript.
From 1 July 2024, relevant practitioners are exempt from the legislative requirement to check QScript in specified low-risk circumstances. For more information, please view the:
QScript provides real-time monitored medicines prescription information for prescribers and pharmacists to support safer clinical decision-making.
