E-prescription: Galenica rethinks healthcare.
Integrating the Documedis® e-prescription makes the medication process more efficient. Prescriptions are signed electronically, so there is no need to sign by hand or type prescriptions out. The information, including the signature, is all contained in the QR code. The QR code must be scanned in order to check the validity of the prescription and to be able to redeem it. Questions or misunderstandings arising from illegible paper prescriptions are a thing of the past. This allows patients to redeem their prescriptions from pharmacies more quickly.
Led by HCI Solutions, the Galenica network’s pilot phase was successfully completed in late 2022. The Documedis® e-prescription should become available to all medical and pharmaceutical specialists and patients within the next few months.
We show respect.
Together, we are stronger.
We build trust.
We participate with passion.
We act as entrepreneurs.
«We succeed in the digital transformation not only with individual digital solutions, but also with the networking of all participants.»
