Medication review software
for professional clinical workflows.

When people search for medication review software in Australia, results often mix two different product classes. Consumer and patient apps help people track doses, order repeats, or manage adherence at home. Professional clinical software is built for accredited pharmacists and the clinicians they work with: GP referrals, structured review documentation, medicines checking, program rules, and claiming pathways such as PPA.

Markoste belongs in the professional category. It is designed for credentialed pharmacists who deliver HMR, RMMR, and ACOP-related work — not for patients managing their own medicines list.

In Australian pharmacy practice, medication review software usually means tools that support collaborative medicines assessment under program frameworks — most often Home Medicines Review (HMR) in the community and Residential Medication Management Review (RMMR) in aged care, alongside related quality-use-of-medicines and onsite pharmacist activity.

Useful platforms in this category typically help with referral or case tracking, visit or facility documentation, a GP-ready report, interaction or guideline checks, and a path to lodge or support claims. Generic practice software and consumer adherence apps do not cover that loop.

A Home Medicines Review is a GP-referred review for a community-dwelling patient, usually conducted at home, with a written report back to the GP. An RMMR is the residential aged care equivalent, tied to facility charts, care teams, and governance. Aged Care Onsite Pharmacist (ACOP) work funds ongoing onsite medication management and governance in facilities, complementary to formal RMMRs.

Markoste provides dedicated workflows for each of these on one platform. Use the related links below for the focused HMR, RMMR, and ACOP software pages.

The clinical part of a medication review has not gone away: you still assess the patient, exercise judgement, and own every recommendation to the GP. What has broken the old system for many pharmacists is everything after the consult — hours at a keyboard turning findings into a formatted report, copying medication lists, and rebuilding the same letter structure again and again.

Markoste changes that layer with AI built for pharmacist workflow. After the review, you dictate findings in plain language. Markoste Scribe drafts a structured, GP-ready report you edit and approve — so the clinical reasoning stays yours while the typing burden drops. Markoste+ then raises rules-based guideline alerts (for example STOPP/START) that you review before anything enters the report.

Beyond documentation, Markoste covers the HMR operating loop many platforms leave in spreadsheets and phones: a call log for patient contact, travel log and visit-day planning, and patient SMS for intro and visit reminders — then report drafting and PPA claiming on the same Australian-hosted platform. That full loop, with AI-assisted write-up at the centre, is why many accredited pharmacists choose Markoste over review-only or referral-only tools.

Medscope Medication Review Manager (MRM) is commercial HMR/RMMR review software that emphasises an expert system using multiple classification ripple-down rules (MCRDR) to surface case-specific drug-related problems for report writing. Markoste also supports HMR and RMMR workflows, with pharmacist case pipelines, medicine reconciliation, and PPA claiming support across HMR, RMMR, and ACOP on one platform — plus AI Scribe documentation that turns dictated findings into a GP-ready draft you edit. Markoste+ takes a different CDS path: rules-based guideline alerts (for example STOPP/START) that you review — not MCRDR-style autonomous problem detection.

MR Assist is a commercial cloud platform for accredited pharmacists and GPs to share, complete, and monitor HMR progress, with electronic referrals, dual-sided clinic and pharmacist portals, template-based reports, and direct PPA Online claiming for initial HMRs. Markoste is pharmacist-workflow software first: AI-assisted report drafting, case management, medicine reconciliation, and HMR/RMMR/ACOP modules in one place — not primarily a GP-clinic referral exchange billed per completed HMR.

G-MEDSS (Goal-directed Medication review Electronic Decision Support System) is a University of Sydney research-developed clinical decision support system for health professionals reviewing medicines in older adults. It combines a Goals of Care tool, the Drug Burden Index (DBI) Calculator, and revised Patients' Attitudes Towards Deprescribing (rPATD) questionnaires, and has been studied in HMR and aged care settings. It is decision-support and goal-directed review tooling — not a commercial HMR/RMMR case-management or PPA claiming platform. Markoste and G-MEDSS solve different jobs; they can sit alongside each other rather than as like-for-like substitutes.

QUMulus is commercial cloud software built for consultant pharmacists delivering RMMRs and Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) services in residential care. It focuses on rapid chart data capture, patient-centred Medication Guides, resident medication histories, facility and corporate benchmarking (including national comparisons), and MAC-ready reporting, with licensing tied to facility bed counts. Markoste also supports residential RMMR and ACOP governance workflows, and adds community HMR case management, AI-assisted documentation, and PPA claiming support on the same platform — a broader clinical operating system rather than a QUM/RMMR benchmarking specialist alone.

SimpleMed Australia is a commercial electronic medication management platform for residential aged care: digital National Residential Medication Charts, facility administration, pharmacy dispense and DAA integration, and prescriber charting (SimpleFacility, SimplePharmacy, SimpleDoctor, SimplePack). Pharmacists gain access to resident charts and messaging within that closed loop. It is facility medication-chart and supply infrastructure — not accredited-pharmacist HMR/RMMR case pipelines or AI-assisted GP-ready review documentation. Markoste targets the pharmacist's clinical review and documentation workflow; SimpleMed targets the facility's electronic medication management stack.

Look for clear support for the services you actually deliver (HMR, RMMR, ACOP or QUM), documentation that produces a GP-ready report without locking you into hours of manual typing, medicines checking you remain responsible for, claiming or program alignment where relevant, and Australian data residency. Markoste combines AI Scribe report drafting, HMR and residential modules, MIMS checking, Markoste+ guideline alerts that you review, and PPA workflow support in one Australian-hosted platform — with dedicated deep-dives on the HMR, RMMR, and ACOP software pages.
