Title (German)

Medizinische Informatik - Anforderungen an elektronische Verschreibungen (ISO 17523:2016); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 17523:2016

Overview

This standard describes the requirements for electronic prescriptions. It establishes generic principles that are considered important for all electronic prescriptions, resulting in a list of elements that are considered core elements of all electronic prescriptions. The scope is constrained to the content of the electronic prescription itself. The prescribed medicinal product is to be dispensed through an authorized healthcare professional with the aim of being administered to a human patient. Other messages, roles and scenarios are out of scope of this standard, because they are more or less country or region specific, due to differences in culture and in legislation of healthcare. The way in which electronic prescriptions are made available or exchanged also fall outside the scope of this standard. This document has been prepared by WG 6 "Pharmacy and medicines business" at Technical Committee ISO/TC 215 "Health Informatics" with the collaboration of Technical Committee CEN/TC 251 "Medical Informatics", the secretariat of which is held by NEN (the Netherlands). Working Committee NA 063-07-03 AA "Terminologie" ("Terminology") Standards Committee Medicine (NAMed) at DIN contributed to preparation of the standard.
