Initiative overview
Electronic prescription and the implementation of the ePrescription information system are based in legislation – Act No 378/2007 Coll., on Pharmaceuticals, as amended. The doctor issues an electronic prescription (ePrescription) for the patient and on the basis of the ePrescription, the pharmacy dispenses the medicinal product. The Central Repository of Electronic Prescriptions (“CÚER”), as one of the components of the ePrescription system, collects and stores all ePrescriptions under conditions stipulated by effective legislation. The implemented ePrescription system is one of the provided eHealth services and its operation in the Czech Republic has been mandatory since 1 January 2018. Section 81f of Act No 378/2007 Coll., on Pharmaceuticals, permits certain exceptional situations in which it is still possible to issue paper prescriptions.
