Objective:
Estonian innovative electronic solutions have long been leading the way in the healthcare sector. This article aims to give an overview of all e-solutions and their usability in community pharmacies in Estonia and how they compare and operate with the wider e-health system.
Methods:
A comprehensive literature review was conducted on publicly accessible information regarding Estonian e-health and electronic community pharmacy solutions.
Findings:
While Estonian e-health system, including the e-prescription system is developed and maintained by the nationally funded Health and Wellbeing Infosystem Center, community pharmacy owners have established many noteworthy systems such as the e-pharmacist decision-support system, commodities info systems, online pharmacies, a telehealth prescription reminder service, and an automated dosage dispense system. Some pharmacies are collaborating with private healthcare service providers to allow quick and easy prescription renewal through an electronic channel.
Conclusion:
Different electronic systems have overall greatly improved Estonian pharmacy services, accuracy and flow of consultations, and accessibility of medicines. In some cases, more support and active involvement is still needed from government agencies for full implementation.
