Recip-e asbl is the "multidisciplinary" team contributing to the creation of electronic prescribing in the Belgian healthcare sector. The non-profit organization is made up of representatives of doctors, dentists, pharmacists, physiotherapists and (home) nurses. The Recip-e project is aimed at the electronic dispensing of prescriptions in the healthcare sector, and is part of the national e-health plan. Thanks to Recip-e, prescribers can now send prescriptions electronically and securely to a server. Each prescription is stored in encrypted form until the patient "retrieves" it from a healthcare provider (pharmacist, physiotherapist, nurse). Since September 15, 2021, this procedure can be carried out completely dematerialized, thanks to the electronic identity card or national registry number.

Changes are expected with the introduction of "referral prescriptions". Ms Thorré will explain the issues involved and the implications for healthcare professionals.
