Description:
The Mobile Medical Electronic Prescription (PEM Mobile) was 
launched on February 2019 as a mobile application that allows 
the physician to perform medical prescriptions using their 
smartphones, in a totally dematerialised way and without 
resorting to a computer - the information is made available to 
the end-user through an email and/or SMS. 
The PEM Mobile is a simple and very useful solution, for 
example, in home consultations or when the physician is away 
from the patient, allowing the health professional to issue 
medical prescriptions in a secure way.

The Medical ePrescription, which became mandatory in 2016, 
allows the prescription of medication through a whole electronic 
circuit, including dispensing and billing. This model allows the 
simultaneous prescription of different types of drugs 
(reimbursable and non-reimbursable) in a single prescription.
