| Stephen At our last meeting with DOHA they confirmed this. Electronic scripts will require legislative change of the requirement to sign the prescription with a pen They could not say how long this will take

P.S.: I have recently completed a research on electronic prescription. WRT the issue of legislations governing prescriptions: it is a requirement by law - almost worldwide - that pharmacies are required to have the original paper prescriptions with the prescriber provider number and signature for medications to be dispensed. Hospitals are allowed to "bend" the rule because the originally signed prescriptions are held within the hospitals. Electronic signature legislations to allow e-Prescription are only passed in a very few countries, mainly in Europe and North America.
