Electronic patient record (EPR) systems in which ePrescribing is fully integrated, are in comprehensive usage, both in primary health care and specialized medical care (3, 11). As regards ePrescriptions, they are prescribed, signed, and transferred electronically to the centralized database called the Prescription Centre. Physician can view the patients’ ePrescription information held in the Prescription Centre, yet patient’s consent and a current treatment relationship is required. However, physicians may view the prescriptions they have issued themselves or the prescriptions of CNS medicines or narcotics without the patient's consent.
