Digital Prescription
A medical prescription created, signed, and transmitted digitally between a healthcare provider and pharmacy, replacing traditional paper prescriptions.
Digital prescriptions, also known as e-prescriptions or electronic prescriptions, are medical prescriptions that are created, signed, and transmitted securely in digital format between healthcare providers and pharmacies. Unlike traditional paper prescriptions, digital prescriptions offer numerous advantages including speed, accuracy, security, and convenience. The system enables rapid prescription creation, secure digital signatures, immediate transmission to pharmacies, and real-time tracking of prescription status. Formidable provides a regulatory-compliant digital prescription platform used in healthcare systems for secure management, verification, storage, and transfer of prescriptions between providers and pharmacies.
