Electronic prescriptions have the same legal value as paper prescriptions

Xuân Dũng

According to the Circular No. 27/2021/TT-BYT on making up electronic prescriptions promulgated by the Minister of Health, electronic prescriptions that are prescriptions written, displayed, digitally signed, shared and filed in electronic form will have the same legal value as paper prescriptions.

Healthcare establishments must meet the following schedule for use of electronic prescriptions:

- As for grade-3 and higher-grade hospitals, this task must be completed by June 30, 2022.   

- As for other hospitals, this task must be completed by December 1, 2022.   

Departments of Health in provinces and centrally-affiliated cities grant identifiers to healthcare establishments and ID codes to practitioners under their authority via the national prescription system.

Healthcare establishments are responsible for posting electronic prescriptions on the national prescription system promptly after completion of the procedures for health check and medical treatment of outpatients.

Circular No. 27/2021/TT-BYT is entering into force as of February 15, 2022.
