Reçetem: 140 Million Prescriptions!

Tiga Health’s Electronic Prescription System (Reçetem) serving in Turkey since 2017, enables all prescriptions to be written electronically and prevents illegal operations such as fake prescriptions and fake reports.

In the first place, Reçetem System started by registering red and green prescriptions containing drugs and psychotropic drugs. In the next stage, orange prescriptions for hemophilia patients and purple prescriptions for other blood products were added to Renkli Reçete (Narcotic Prescription System), and finally white prescriptions were also included in the system.

After the transition to Reçetem, the "Unlicensed and Off-label Drug Management System", in which foreign and off-label drug prescriptions are written by doctors, was also added to the system. While more than 670 thousand patient reports have been entered into the system, the number of prescriptions written has exceeded 140 million.

1 Million Prescriptions Per Day

While Reçetem, where an average of 1 million prescriptions are written per day, prevents illegal activities such as fake prescriptions and fake reports; patients cannot prescribe repeated prescriptions to different doctors and cannot obtain medication from different pharmacies before they run out of medication.

Before the system, monthly checks of printed prescriptions were made by the Provincial Health Directorates at the end of the month. Thanks to Reçetem, instant control of inappropriate situations that develop during the month can be provided. The system ensures that the medicines are prescribed in the right dosage by the doctors and that patients obtain the medicines from the pharmacies in the correct dosage.

While the system allows doctors to easily see the red and green prescription drugs and the expiration dates of these drugs, it also prevents the loss of work force and time spent by doctors for obtaining, delivering and tracking printed prescriptions. Being completely paperless, Reçetem also eliminates the economic loss caused by printed prescriptions.
