Summary/Abstract: This article is to present the concept of the electronic prescription model, taking into account legal regulations and technical solutions. Nowadays important changes have happened. In 2018, a law package regarding e-prescriptions was introduced in Poland that creates a new tool (electronic prescription) in the Polish market. Homogeneous tools enabling the security and integrity of e-documents and the approval of electronic signatures and seals are particularly important for the operation of the e-prescription. To enable the transmission of e-prescriptions it is required to join basic information and communications technology (ICT) system that supports e-prescribing to the main electronic identification system called Identification Electronic Node. In order to implement the e-prescription model, the lanuching of electronic medical records is indispensable.
