Problem
German medical practices and hospitals face the upcoming mandatory transition from paper-based prescriptions (Muster 16) to electronic prescriptions (E-Rezepte), a process that can disrupt established workflows and create administrative burdens. Additionally, paper prescriptions limit patient access to telemedicine and remote care, as they require in-person visits for medication refills and new prescriptions.
Solution
ere.health provides a software solution that enables medical practices and hospitals to issue electronic prescriptions directly from their existing practice or hospital information systems. The technology works by creating a virtual printer that converts the standard Muster 16 prescription into an E-Rezept format, which is then digitally signed using the practitioner's electronic health professional card (HBA) for forgery-proof authentication. The system is fully compatible with common KIS and PVS systems and requires no adjustments to existing infrastructure, allowing for a seamless transition to digital prescribing. Patients can redeem their prescriptions at any pharmacy using a QR code through the Gematik app, and the solution also supports telemedicine workflows, enabling remote prescription issuance and reducing infection risks. The platform is hosted on servers in Germany or can be deployed on the hospital's own infrastructure, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance with GDPR regulations.
