Challenges and solutions in implementing electronic prescribing in Iran’s health system: a qualitative study

Electronic prescribing in Iran is still in its early stages and will inevitably face challenges and problems. Continuous monitoring of electronic prescribing systems is essential to address implementation issues promptly. Issues related to training insurance monitoring the user interface and database infrastructure were challenging. Overall, improvements in infrastructure, integration of insurance systems, implementation of electronic signatures, adherence to electronic prescribing standards, and provision of practical training are recommended.

Abstract

Electronic prescribing in Iran is still in its early stages and will inevitably face challenges and problems. Continuous monitoring of electronic prescribing systems is essential to address implementation issues promptly. Issues related to training insurance monitoring the user interface and database infrastructure were challenging. Overall, improvements in infrastructure, integration of insurance systems, implementation of electronic signatures, adherence to electronic prescribing standards, and provision of practical training are recommended.
