MedAdvisor App - Pharmacy Guide to Active Script List (ASL)

Active Script List (ASL) is a secure digital record of a patient’s electronic and computer-generated paper prescriptions—an ideal solution for those managing multiple medications.
Once a patient is registered, they no longer need to track individual eScript tokens. With their consent, you can access their ASL and dispense medications directly from the list, streamlining the dispensing process and reducing delays.
The MedAdvisor App now supports ASL, giving your patients a convenient way to manage their scripts while enabling you to deliver faster, more efficient service. Now is the perfect time to start talking to your patients about registering for ASL.
How to Connect to ASL:
The ASL Activation Code Explained

A code needs to be provided to patients to register for the Active Script List (ASL).

The activation code is generated within your pharmacy’s dispensing software and can be easily retrieved from there.

ASL codes are unique to the individual patient and can be used multiple times to access their ASL through a range of compatible apps such as MedAdvisor.

Benefits of ASL:
- Full Prescription Overview: ASL displays all active prescriptions—including electronic and paper scripts.
- Enhanced Script Management: Patients have the flexibility to manage which prescriptions are visible in their ASL. They can choose to hide or show individual scripts at any time. While ASL strives to reflect the records held in pharmacy dispensing systems, patient-controlled visibility settings may result in some differences.
- No more lost scripts: Prescriptions added to a patient’s ASL cannot be removed ensuring the integrity and completeness of their medication history.
- ADHA Compliance: ASL is an initiative managed by the Australian Digital Health Agency. MedAdvisor has passed strict compliance requirements to integrate this functionality into the MedAdvisor App.
Setting up your patients on ASL:
STEP 1
Ensure your dispense software is compatible with ASL.
We've compiled a list of our dispensing software partners below which support ASL.
STEP 2
Find the patient in your dispense software and retrieve their ASL code.
Ensure you verify the patients identity and collect a mobile number for consent (100 points of identification required).
STEP 3
Supply the ASL code to the patient (typically 6-7 characters).
We recommend asking the patient to input the code into their MedAdvisor App while still in the pharmacy.
Advise your patient that the ASL code should be kept secure (treat it like a credit card PIN).
STEP 4
Once connected, the MedAdvisor App will automatically update with the patients prescription data.

My Script List, known as MySL or simply ASL, is a government-approved digital list of your electronic prescriptions. This handy online system securely stores details about the medications you've been prescribed, so it's easy for both you and your healthcare providers to view and manage your scripts. To get set up, you’ll need to register for a MySL by your pharmacy.
Absolutely! MySL meets the high standards set by the Department of Health and Aged Care and the Australia Digital Health Agency, ensuring your prescription information is kept safe.
Also, for Scripty to connect to the My Script List, Scripty also must meet the standards set by the Australian Digital Health Agency. We go through the conformance process with the operators of the National Prescription Delivery Service and the Australian Digital Health Agency. You can find out product listed on the ePrescribing conformance register.
To connect to MySL, your details are entered precisely as they are recorded in the ASL registry. This includes the exact spelling and formatting of your first and last names (such as the inclusion of hyphens or middle names). You might want to check what is on one of your scripts or have a conversation with your pharmacist to confirm that the details in their dispensing records match those in the ASL registry.
It's also possible that it’s poor internet connectivity or a temporary outage of the ASL registry. Try again.
If these options still don’t work, contact us and we'll see how what we can do.
Right now, popping into your local pharmacy is the primary way to get your MySL activation code. They’ll be able to verify who you are and get you set up. It's much easier if you've had scripts dispensed there before.
No, your MySL activation code is permanent and doesn’t expire.
It is your unique code, make sure you keep it safe.
It's up to you! Registering your MySL at each pharmacy you visit allows that particular pharmacy to directly access your MySL and see all your active scripts through their system. However, by connecting your MySL in Scripty, you’ll have access 24/7 yourself.
Having MySL on Scripty means you carry your eScripts right in your pocket. This puts you in complete control—you can visit any pharmacy to have your scripts dispensed, or easily share your eScripts records with healthcare professionals, no matter where you are.
-
A medication-chart based eScript refers to an electronic prescription that is integrated within a medication chart. While these eScripts form part of your overall medication record, they cannot be ordered through community pharmacies using Scripty. However it is part of our conformance requirements to display these eScripts if they are included in your active script list.
