LOMBARDY – Race to website of the electronic health record in Lombardy to confirm the possibility of receiving the electronic recipe via text message or email. Despite the Region’s reassurances that there would be no interruption of service from May 1st, many citizens who had not yet done so rushed in the last few hours to carry out the procedure for choosing the method of digitally sending the number of prescriptions (Nre), without the need for a paper reminder, presumably generating a peak in traffic on the portal, one of the channels available for confirming the service. Result: slowdowns in website operationsaccording to reports from many Lombards, although it is still possible to complete the procedures.
What happens today, April 30th? In reality, experts explain, the deadline issue is not there, in the sense that it is not a peremptory term. The one reported is an indicative deadline that had been inserted in the information screen to give people an idea of a time margin within which to complete the operation, confirmed by the Region.
The possibility of receiving the electronic prescription code on your mobile phone or via email was introduced during the Covid emergency, but with the latest measures it has been made permanent. The operation requested in Lombardy, as part of the renewal of the health record notification service, is necessary to collect a sort of consent (since it concerns personal data) regarding the methods of the service that you wish to activate and therefore sanction this transition to a structural system. This latter step obviously affects the entire national territory. The electronic prescription was in fact first extended until the end of 2024, before being definitively transformed.
