BS EN ISO 17523:2016 specifies the requirements that apply to electronic prescriptions. It
describes generic principles that are considered important for all electronic prescriptions.The scope of this International Standard is constrained to the content of the electronic prescription
itself, the digital document which is issued by a prescribing healthcare professional and received by
a dispensing healthcare professional. 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 (e.g. validation of a prescription, administration, medication charts, EHR
of the patient, reimbursement of care and dispensed products) are out of scope of this International
Standard, because they are more or less country or region specific, due to differences in culture and
in legislation of healthcare. However, requirements and content of electronic prescriptions within
the context of jurisdictions have a relationship with these scenarios. The way in which electronic
prescriptions are made available or exchanged also fall outside the scope of this International Standard.This International Standard is applicable to electronic prescriptions of medicinal products. Although
other kinds of products (e.g. medical devices, wound care products) can be ordered by means of an
electronic prescription, the requirements in this International Standard are aimed at medicinal
products that have a market authorization and at pharmaceutical preparations which are compounded
in a pharmacy. An electronic prescription is an information object that authorizes a healthcare
professional to legally dispense a medicinal product.This International Standard specifies a list of data elements that can be considered as essential for
electronic prescriptions, depending on jurisdiction or clinical setting (primary healthcare, hospital, etc.).Cross References:ISO 8601ISO 11238ISO 11239ISO 11240ISO 11615ISO 11616ISO 17090-1ISO/TS 16791ISO/TS 22220ISO/TS 27527ISO 639-2ISO 639-3ISO 7498-2:1989ISO 21549-7ISO/IEC 2382:2015ISO/IEC 24760-1:20112011/24/EU2012/52/EU2001/83/EUAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
