GP founder of InstantScripts ordered to undergo education on patient history-taking

The GP founder of a high-profile telehealth business will undergo mandatory education on obtaining a thorough clinical history and maintaining continuity of care after the Medical Board of Australia slapped conditions on his registration.
InstantScripts offers patients renewed prescriptions for around 300 medicines based on either a $15 text-based consultation or a $49 video consultation.
It claims its 80 GPs perform 3300 short consults a day — 1% of all short consults across Australia.
Launched in 2018 by Dr Asher Freilich, the company says practice conditions were placed on the Melbourne GP last month and related to “an agreement to undertake an audit of practice following a proactive discussion with AHPRA about InstantScripts’ clinical governance framework”.
