The Best Solution for E-prescriptions on the eHC

Strengthen and exploit the advantages of your branch pharmacies for e-prescriptions with CardLink+ online

Digitalization with the switch to electronic prescriptions - e-prescriptions for short - has so far brought few advantages for local pharmacies. After all, it is "only" the electronic version of the conventional prescription: patients still come to the pharmacy - now with the electronic health card (eHC). Or not any more... This is because online pharmacies had long since started to address precisely these patients with their digital solutions. The brick-and-mortar pharmacies were left behind - especially when immobile patients were no longer able to visit the pharmacy themselves.

Quick help with CardLink+

But with CardLink+, the CardLink system from Arvato Systems and service health erx GmbH the approximately 18,000 local pharmacies are once again playing to their usual strengths with e-prescriptions and scoring points with speed, delivery capability, advice and cross-selling offers. The vast majority of pharmacies already have the necessary connector. New: with CardLink+, the insured person's smartphone serves as a mobile health card reader and opens access to local pharmacies via an app. CardLink+ also closes the gap in the care of chronically ill people and those in need of care and reconnects these target groups to the proven services of branch pharmacies.

E-prescription and CardLink+: The double dose for more efficiency, customers and sales

With CardLink+, you can provide your affiliated branch pharmacies with an easy-to-use and secure tool that connects them to the benefits of end-to-end digitization in the shortest possible time and strengthens them in the long term: Patients can use the app to connect their eHCs to their smartphone and check online immediately after their visit to the doctor to see which local pharmacy has the prescribed medication in stock or can deliver it as quickly as possible. This allows pharmacies to score points again, especially with chronically ill people and immobile patients, as they can usually have the urgently needed medication delivered by courier on the same day. The advantages for patients: they now have digital access to prescription medicines and a second way to redeem their e-prescription. This makes it easier for your customers to redeem e-prescriptions in your pharmacy, strengthens patient loyalty and positions you as a modern, digital pharmacy in the healthcare sector.

The eHealth CardLink solution (eH-CL) for your pharmacies

CardLink+ integrates seamlessly into existing AVS systems and acts as a catalyst for branch pharmacies. This is because other players and service providers from the healthcare sector and telemedicine can be connected just as easily in the future. Thanks to digitalization, the entire healthcare system is growing together and generating efficiency advantages and additional benefits for everyone involved. In addition, there is little manual effort for your connected pharmacies: prescription entry and billing take place automatically in the existing software solution.
