European Pilots: Digital prescription

and Patient Summaries by end of

2021

e-Prescription is a centralized paperless system for issuing and handling medical prescriptions that is

used in 99% of cases. e-Prescription has become popular especially among the older generation, since

they are the main users of medical services. e-Prescription does not require digital skills – you only

need to call the doctor and collect your medication from the closest pharmacy.

As of January 2019, the first EU patients can use digital prescriptions issued by their home doctor

when visiting a pharmacy in another EU country: Finnish patients are now able to go to a pharmacy

in Estonia and retrieve medicine prescribed electronically by their doctor in Finland. The initiative

applies to all ePrescriptions prescribed in Finland and to the Estonian pharmacies that have signed the

agreement. The novelty of this initiative is that the ePrescriptions are visible electronically to

participating pharmacists in the receiving country via the new eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure,

without the patient having to provide a written prescription.

22 EU Member States are part of the eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure and are expected to

exchange ePrescriptions and Patient Summaries by the end of 2021. 10 Member States (Finland,

Estonia, Czechia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Croatia, Malta, Cyprus, Greece and Belgium) may start these

exchanges by the end of 2019.

#AuroraAI’s core concept:Digital Twin of Every Citizen

Organizations create interface services (APIs) to

be controlled by person her/himself using her/his

own digital twin.

The interface services together constitute a

platform on which user-controlled applications are run based on person’s own

data control.

More personalized and proactive services

empower to take care of her/his own well-being in

different life events.
