Recip-e

The non-profit Recip-e organization is the "multidisciplinary" team that helps make electronic prescription possible in the Belgian health care system. The association is made up of representatives from general practitioners, specialists, dentists, pharmacists, physiotherapists and (home) nurses. The Recip-e project revolves around the electronic delivery 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 kept encrypted until the patient "picks it up" from a healthcare provider (pharmacist, physiotherapist, nurse). Since September 15, 2021, this can be done completely paperless, using the eID or the national registry number.
