Advancement and benefits of E-Prescription in Switzerland
Unlike in Germany, doctors and pharmacies in Switzerland have pushed ahead with e-prescriptions. Since May 2022, the Swiss Medical Association FMH and the pharmacy association pharmaSuisse have been working on a pilot project to develop a simple, secure e-prescription with QR code transmission. The Swiss Federal Council is now venturing into a new start for e-prescriptions and wants to create a standardized framework by revising the Therapeutic Products Act.
