Background: One of the most important novel solutions in managing the health system is implemention of an e-prescription system. Implementing a comprehensive e-prescription system faces technical, executive, policy, and governance challenges. The aim of this manuscript is introducing tailored solutions for each challenge.
Methods: This research was carried out by purposeful and rapid review of valid and scientific articles.
Results: Challenges and potential solutions were reviewed: standardization, enabling digital identity and signatures, networking infrastructure, a national insurance rules engine, integration with electronic health records, training, and governance structures.
Conclusions: Despite the efforts made, there are still many questions regarding cost-benefit and public satisfaction of the current system, requiring further national research. |
