A law is being implemented in the city of Buenos Aires to support the use of technology to prescribe medicines and legally sell them online.
Buenos Aires is aiming the application of the electronic prescription to stock medicine in a more organized way for the people.
It was proposed as a public policy, that each pharmacy and health center have to register the medicines they receive in order to store a digital file that endorse each transaction and use of the drugs.
This doesn’t mean that regular prescriptions will cease to exist, this strategy is made to be a support to regulate medical treatments and avoid error or confusions that doctors handwriting could cause.
The project is based on making public and private hospitals, Health Centers (CESAC), Centers of Reference Medical Specialties (CEMAR), Barriales Medical Centers (CMB), the clinics and sanatoriums, have a record within the Recipe Medical to be licensed to market the medicines.
This improve is supposed to give a more specific control, as long as “the necessary technology is available to safeguard the support established by both national and local laws and to ensure the confidentiality of the data entered there in order to achieve the Drug Traceability System the country has”.
Over time it’s hoped to strengthen the new virtual experience in order to offer to all who participate in the health system of the country a more pleasant solution through a network and always on-date connectivity of any movement.
