The transition to electronic prescriptions in Uzbekistan helps solve several problems of the paper-based system. Illegible handwriting, lost prescriptions, and lack of access to appointment history created a risk of errors and repeated visits to the doctor. Now, prescriptions are issued in the DMED system and confirmed by the doctor's personal PIN-FL, and the patient receives it in a mobile application. A unique barcode is used to obtain medication at the pharmacy.

The new system also controls the prescriptions themselves. For a single diagnosis, a doctor can prescribe no more than five types of medications – if the limit is exceeded, the program automatically blocks the prescription. In addition, DMED cross-references medications with the diagnosis according to the ICD classifier and warns the doctor about potentially incompatible or unsuitable prescriptions. Previously, according to medical professionals, there were cases where patients were prescribed several drugs from the same group, and the total number of medications exceeded ten.

The system already covers primary, secondary, and tertiary medical care. The history of tests and appointments becomes accessible between different institutions, which saves patients from repeated submission of some tests. At the same time, over 1800 medications are over-the-counter, while prescription drugs, including injectables, are dispensed only with an electronic prescription. The status of a specific medication can be checked via Farmgo or the my.gov.uz portal.
