Australian Medicines Terminology (AMT) Version 3 Support for Prescription and Dispense Record Documents February 2015 Release now available

Published 1 March 2015

NEHTA has released updated specification versions for the following document types, eHealth Prescription Record; and eHealth Dispense Record.

These updates introduce support for Australian Medicines Terminology (AMT) version 3 codes for therapeutic goods. 

In previous versions of these specifications, codes for the identification of therapeutic goods needed to be sourced from AMT version 2 and PBS code sets only. This limitation has been removed in this release, allowing document producers to also include codes from AMT version 3.

Documents containing AMT version 3 codes can now be uploaded to the PCEHR system using the new template package IDs from the table below:
