Moroccan Pharmacists Push for Digital Prescriptions Amid Illegible Handwriting Concerns

Illegible, misspelled and erroneous prescriptions. These are the reproaches made by pharmacists to doctors, reports the daily Al Massae.

Faced with these accusations that are becoming recurrent, the doctors, for their part, oppose a refusal.

No longer able to make superhuman efforts to decipher prescriptions at the risk of making mistakes and having a negative impact on the health of patients, pharmacists, gathered within their union, have recently studied solutions to make all prescriptions legible and therefore reliable.

The same newspaper also specifies that the Confederation of Pharmacists’ Unions and the Order governing this profession have organized a meeting with representatives of the Order of Physicians to call for the standardization of prescription writing, by digitizing them, more precisely, by writing them from a computer.
