RRecipRecip-e is the Belgian electronic prescription format. As the use case for elderly care institutions is different from the one for ambulatory patients, a specific flow has been defined. See the diagram below for more explanation.

Remarques Remarks and special usecases:
- The description for the prescriptionrequest can be found here.
- The description for the prescriptionacceptation can be found here.
- The description for the prescriptiondenial can be found here.
- The description for the prescriptionerror can be found here.
- In this flow now no paper is needed anymore, not even the "prove proof of electronic prescription". All parties just need the RID, which will be shared in the different files form described this flow.
- Officially the paper prescription isn't allowed anymore from as of 1/1/2018. But in the case of elderly care institutions the paper flow will still be accepted for a short period in 2018, so all software vendors have enough time to integrate this digital flow. This period has not been defined yet. This means that when starting this project a mixed situation where some doctors will already be able to prescribe electronic and some not has won't to be foreseen.
- When starting a new medication, the elderly care institution will have to add it in his its software and send the prescription request to the doctor. It is not allowed to start the flow from the medical software. This is done so because the formulary from the elderly care institution and the pharmacy are aligned, which is not the case for the doctor.
- The doctor can only accept or refuse the prescription. Modification is not allowed. If this is needed, he wil have to refuse is it and mention that he wants a modification. A new request has then to be send sent to the doctor, after the modification was treated in the elderly care institution.
- When it a prescription is refused the reason why is mandatory.
- If there is an structural error with the request, a prescription error file has to be sendsent, where the reason why is also mandatory.
- On a normal base an order without RID should not be allowed, only when if urgent. In that case the RID has to be send sent in the next Orderlink. See description Orderlink 1.6
- If the medicationschemes medication schedules are managed in the pharmacy, the same flow has to be implemented starting from the pharmacysoftware pharmacy software and sending prescription requests directly to the doctors.
- Preferential Preferably every prescription is for only one medication, however more is are allowed.
- Every prescription and their validation/refusal is send sent as 1 attachment in 1 eHealthBox message. (ex. 5 prescriptions = 5 messages)
- In order to provide a full view of the medicationscheme medication schedule for the doctor, a scheme schedule in pdf has to be added to the prescriptionrequestprescription request.
- Medical software is vendors are asked to provide a mobile functionality to validate the prescription. But this will take some time to be the case for all softwaressoftware packages.
