First, select the patient by searching for their name from your existing patient list, or create a new patient if it’s their first visit.

Next, search for the medication you want to prescribe in the search field. This will open a sidebar where you can select the specific type of medication.

Note: If needed you can also choose to add a custom preparation item if MIMS does not have the specific medication you need to prescribe.

Then, fill in the required details for the medication, such as the pack size and the type of prescription (PBS, Non-PBS, Private, or Section 100).

Note: If the medication has a streamlined authority, the PBS authority code will be filled in automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to call the PBS Authority Hotline to obtain the code.

Finally, select how the patient should receive the script or update the email or phone number of the recipient if needed.

Note: If you update the patient's mobile number or email here, the change will apply only to this prescription and will not update the patient profile.
