COMPUTER-BASED PRESCRIPTION SYSTEM FOR MEDICAMENTS

摘要

In a method and system for processing and exchanging prescription data in a distributed network system that includes a database, a medical server, a smartphone and a provider, such as a pharmacy's computer. The medical server may be operated by a physician, who issues a prescription for a respective patient. The medical server is adapted to generate a prescription package and to transmit the package over a second network to a mobile device, which is associated with the patient. The mobile device includes a prescription module that is adapted to generate a prescription dataset for transmission to the provider. The provider in turn resolves the received dataset by extracting an identification of a digital certificate, and generates a medication dataset, which may be sent to the mobile device.
