Short Description: The scope of this implementation guide is Medication Prescription and Dispense in the European Context. This implementation guide is designed to be a flexible basis for national specifications as well as crossborder services.
The EHDS regulation defines the priority categories with the following scope restrictions:
- the prescription is for a medicinal product,
- the prescription is issued by a health professional,
- the prescription is issued for a patient,
- the medication is dispensed by a pharmacy (including online pharmacy),
- the medication is dispensed to a natural person.
While the implementation guide is focusing on the scope mandated by EHDS, it remains flexible to accommodate neighbouring use cases (hospital medication, dispensation by a device, etc) that may benefit from using the same guide as their base.
