#e-prescriptions

But with a new tech update coming, many doctors offices are facing the loss of digital services such as e-prescriptions and electronic sick notes, it has emerged. It's nearly two years since e-prescriptions (known as an ' e-Rezept ') became mandatory in Germany. Instead of a paper slip, prescriptions in Germany are added directly to the patient's health card by a doctor. The patients can then take the card to a pharmacy - or use the E-Rezept app - to pick up their medicine.
