1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's we.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Still living very confusing time. As Victoria's tally they have

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: four positive COVID cases. I now I think they have

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: a total of eleven.

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: I think nine.

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: It's a disturbing I know New Zealand has closed their

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: doors to Victoria. What's going to happen to our health.

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: We're trying to stay on top of our health during

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: all this time. So it's time for our weekly check

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: up with our resident doctor, Doctor Andrew Rochford for the

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: Australian Digital Health Agency.

12
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, Amana, morning Jonesy.

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 3: We're in our singlets and our little underpants, sitting up

14
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: on the bench ready for you to do your worst

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 3: heat prescribing. I went and got astrozenica shot the other

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: day and I was talking to my doctors about he

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: prescribing and I didn't really I'm such a luddite with

18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: this stuff, but this is becoming like a real thing.

19
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know what, it's really cool because it's

20
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: so long that we've had you know, medications prescribed by

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: our doctor, you know, sort of scrawled down on a

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: piece of paper that usually gets scrunched up a lost.

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: At the bottom of our handbag or the bottom of

24
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: a kitchen draw And now what we've got is electronic prescribing,

25
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: So your GP can actually prescribe medication, send you a

26
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 4: prescription that goes to your mobile phone, you know as

27
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 4: a token, so it ends up on your mobile phone.

28
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 4: You either then send it or take it to your

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 4: GP to your pharmacist. They then use that to scan

30
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: and prescribe your medications and in some circumstance you can

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: actually get delivered to your door, so you go on

32
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: other days of trying to decipher what is scribbled down

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 4: on a paper prescription.

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it Because also now we're having you can

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: see your doctor via a zoom meeting. My son had

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: this recently. He was prescribed something that was sent to

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: his phone and off he went to get it. This

38
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: is so much more efficient.

39
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 4: And that's the perfect example. Now that so the health teleconsultation,

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: you could do it from me, get that electronic prescription

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: and then get the medication to your door. And I

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: guess for a very long time digital has been something

44
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: that's been in It's just been embraced by so many

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: other parts of our life and health and medicine is

46
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: using it in certain areas, but now we're just really

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: starting to see it become more mainstream. And you know,

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: look at all the negatives associated with the pandemic, this

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: is one of the positives. I think we've started to

50
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: use these technologies now we've started to realize they're actually

51
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: really easy and they make our life better. And so

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: now we're seeing more and more people adopting them, and

53
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: I think that's only going to continue into the future.

54
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: Are people anxious about this in terms of its sort

55
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: of corruptibility that you can have stuff delivered to your

56
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: door where you know you shouldn't be having those prescriptions,

57
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: or this is just there are checks and measures in place, Yes,

58
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: lots of.

59
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: Checks and measures in place, and checks and balances, and

60
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: a lot of the time with digital we invariably go

61
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: to the place where it's like, well, hang on a

62
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 4: sec you know, this is something that can be hacked

63
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: or something that is less secure. But the reality is

64
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: it's actually got gives the ability to put more security

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: around your health, around your health information and how things

66
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: have prescribed. What really, quick example is the ability for

67
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: if something is prescribed and needs to be changed or

68
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: described in the wrong way, it can be actually updated

69
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: and changed by the GP rather than you having that

70
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: written down and it not being something that can be

71
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: tracked at. And then the pharmacist is in the ability

72
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: to know whether you've been prescribed a medication twice, if

73
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: you're getting double dosing. These are the types of things

74
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: that we see. We do see people take two of

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: the same medication twice without knowing because there's different names,

76
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: and this type of technology helps us monitor that because

77
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: that prescribing errors is one of the largest things we

78
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 4: need to combat and help you When you.

79
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: Went to medical school, what day did you do writing

80
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: down on the prescription pad? What day was that? Was

81
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: that a Tuesday or a Wednesday? Did a lot of

82
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: guys slack off or ladies slack off when they went

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: that day?

84
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those amusing ironies that you spend

85
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: so much of your life trying to learn so much

86
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: and then you have the inability for people to actually

87
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: read what you know. You know, we're in a rush constantly.

88
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: I think that's your entry to medical school. How bad

89
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: your handwriting?

90
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: That golf ball is not going to hit itself. Andrew,

91
