The scope of this document is constrained to the content of the electronic prescription (ePrescription) itself, the digital document which is issued by a prescribing healthcare professional and received by a dispensing he-althcare professional. The prescribed medicinal product is to be dispensed through an authorized healthcare professional with the aim of being administered to a human patient. The ePrescription in the administrative workflow of reimbursement is not covered in this document. This document specifies the requirements that apply to ePrescriptions. It describes generic principles that are considered important for all ePrescriptions. This document is applicable to ePrescriptions of medicinal products for human use. Although other kinds of products (e.g. medical devices, wound care products) can be ordered by means of an ePrescription, the requirements in this document are aimed at medicinal products that have a market authorization and at pharmaceutical preparations which are compounded in a pharmacy. This document specifies a list of data elements that can be considered as essential for ePrescriptions, depen-ding on jurisdiction or clinical setting (primary healthcare, hospital etc.). Ensuring the authenticity of these data elements is in scope and will have impact on the requirements of information systems.
