National Health System Electronic Prescription

Data protection rules for health and administrative personnel.

A medical prescription is the standardised document by which legally authorised professionals prescribe medicines or medical devices to the patient for dispensing.

An electronic medical prescription is a form of digital healthcare support service that allows the doctor to use information and communication technologies to issue and transmit prescriptions electronically, which can then be dispensed.

The National Health System interoperable electronic prescription service (RESNS) allows medication prescribed in another autonomous region to be dispensed from any pharmacy. It is only necessary to present the individual health card.
