goods following an instruction (e.g. through phone conversation or standing written
agreement) from a prescriber. It has essentially the same contents as a prescription

Information provided in the document includes patient identifiers (patient ID, name,
address, etc.), pharmacy information, prescriber instruction details (prescription
details, mode of communication), the prescription item and formula/dose information,
and any notes from the pharmacist. This code was requested by, but not limited in
use to, the Australian National E-Health Transition Authority Limited (NEHTA). The
Prescription Request document is an officially recognized document in Australia and
is used for legal purposes to allow the doctor to prescribe over the phone (or by
another mode of communication) and fulfill the legal requirement to sign their request.;
