A digital pharmacy system presents unlimited benefits to the current healthcare system and patients’ medication prescribing and dispensing process. Some nations have already established a system that pharmacies can use. Thus, patients do not have to travel to the pharmacist to request prescriptions because this process can be achieved electronically. Some of the benefits associated with a digital pharmacy system include lower medication cost, convenience, access to medication regardless of the patient’s location, which solves a condition known as “pharmacy desert,” patient safety by reducing medication prescription errors, and regular support from the pharmacists. Once implemented, the Germans will be able to request medication as per the set prescriptions without necessarily travelling to the pharmacist.
