According to the Ministry of Health, the "Electronic Prescription" system will be initially implemented in Tashkent city and 15 pilot districts (cities). Doctors will formalize and enter into the unified information system prescriptions for medicines based on their international non-proprietary names.
When the necessary technical capabilities are available, medical and pharmaceutical organizations will be connected free of charge to the DMED information system and integrated with the digital platform of the SIC.
The list of medicines dispensed via electronic prescription will be formed in stages. At the first stage, electronic prescriptions are mandated for systemic antibiotics, synthetic antibacterial, and hormonal drugs.
In pharmacies, prescription medicines will be dispensed based on an electronic prescription, including via the patient's PINFL. The possibility of using paper prescriptions will be retained until the system is fully operational and in emergency situations.
Furthermore, the operation of 1,003 round-the-clock Call Centers has been launched, through which patients can remotely consult with their family doctor and obtain an electronic prescription. For patients with chronic diseases, a procedure is established for issuing electronic prescriptions valid for up to 60 or 90 days.
According to the Ministry, the "Electronic Prescription" system is aimed at increasing safety in prescribing medicines, regulating their circulation, and strengthening accountability.
