Pharmacy Guide to My Script List (MySL)

My Script List (MySL), also known to many as ASL / Active Script List, is a government-approved system, is now available not only to healthcare professionals but also to patients through our free app, Scripty.

For a consumer to view their MySL, they require an activation code, which must be provided by you, the pharmacist.

The MySL activation code:

MySL registration: This code is available for patients registered for My Script List (MySL).
Code generation: The activation code is generated by or can be found in the pharmacy's dispensing software.
Unique and reusable: Each activation code is uniquely tailored to the individual, allowing patients to use their specific code multiple times for accessing their MySL through various third-party applications.

MySL features

The integration of ASL / MySL with Scripty strictly complies with the conformance guidelines established by the Department of Health and Aged Care and the Australian Digital Health Agency. Only apps that are recognised as conformant and listed on the register are authorised to connect with MySL.

This compliance influences several key functionalities:

Comprehensive active script list: My Script List display any active eScripts, paper scripts, and medication-chart eScripts. Medication-chart eScripts, which are part of a patient's medication chart, are visible in Scripty to ensure completeness. Although, any medication chart based eScripts won’t be orderable via Scripty.
Managing script visibility: Patients can manage the visibility of their scripts within MySL. They have the autonomy to hide or unhide scripts. While MySL aims to reflect the dispensing software's script list accurately, discrepancies may arise if patients choose to hide certain scripts.
Non-deletable Scripts: Scripts cannot be deleted from MySL, ensuring an accurate script list.
Managing pharmacy access permissions: Within Scripty, users have the autonomy to manage pharmacy access to their My Script List

This guide outlines how to provide patients with access to view their MySL within Scripty or any third-party app by using a MySL activation code.

How to link Scripty to MySL

Step 1

Setup My Script List (MySL) at a Pharmacy

Ensure that your dispensing software is MySL compatible and can generate MySL activation codes. To update your software or for more detailed support, refer to the Dispense Software Support Links provided on our website.

We’ve compiled a handy list of support pages for your dispensing software.

Step 2

Patient Setup

In your dispense software, find the patient.

Existing MySL: Confirm if the patient has an active MySL. If not, register them.
Identity verification: For new registrations, verify the patient's identity and collect a mobile number for consent.

Make sure that carers or guardians are authorised for access. Once mySL access is given, it can only be revoked by the person holding it.

Once the patient consent, your dispense software should reflect their MySL status. Though consent is given to your pharmacy to view their MySL, patients can manage pharmacy permissions within the Scripty app.

Step 3

Provide the MySL activation code

Provide the patient with their unique MySL activation code (e.g., 123-ABCD). It could be 6-7 alphanumerical characters.

The user will need to input their information exactly as is (case sensitive) in Scripty:

First name
Last name
Date of Birth
Activation code

This information is validated against the Active Script List registry. If your patient is still unable to connect please reach out to our support team or connect Medication Knowledge with their IHI.

Avoid sharing all the MySL related details like first name, last name or DOB and code on paper – which may allow anybody to connect, should the person lose that information!

Where do I find this code?

Step 4

Link to My Script List in Scripty

Once connected, Scripty will automatically update with the patient's script data, including new prescriptions and repeats. This ensures efficient script management and easier ordering for patients.

They'll also be able to easily order all their scripts at your pharmacy by presenting the QR codes in store or using our ordering feature currently in pilot.

Step 5

Educate your customer

Paper scripts: Remind patients that while active eScripts and paper scripts will be visible in their list, they still need to keep and present physical paper scripts for dispensing.
Activation code security: Advise patients to keep their activation code secure or to dispose of it safely, as it can be used for MySL access with just their full name and date of birth.
