99% Latvian drugstores have signed agreement on use of e-health system
In order to make sure about readiness of drugstores to use the e-health
system and their experience so far, NVD experts visited about 100 drugstores
which have been using the e-health system most actively.
Tamme said that specialists made sure that employees have been trained and
ready for work with the e-health system. Additional trainings will be organized
to ensure support.
According to the latest NVD data, the number of e-prescriptions has risen
steeply – from 70,000 in early October to 209,000 in early December. One fifth
or 42,000 e-prescriptions have been prepared in the past two weeks.
As reported, medical specialists, hospitals and drugstores may voluntary
