Thereafter, a unique One-Time Password (OTP) shall be issued to the patient, who shall provide it to the healthcare professional. The provision of the OTP shall be deemed to constitute the patient’s explicit consent to proceed with the creation of the Patient Summary or the issuance of an Electronic Prescription.

The healthcare professional is not required to re-enter the patient’s demographic or other personal information. Instead, the patient may be located in the system by using their identity card details or ARC number, along with their date of birth.

Once the patient has been identified, the healthcare professional may proceed directly with the updating and/or revision of the Patient Summary, as well as the issuance of an Electronic Prescription.
