	This article is to present the concept of the electronic prescription model, taking into account legal regulations and technical solutions. Nowadays important changes have happened. In 2018, a law package regarding e-prescriptions was introduced in Poland that creates a new tool (electronic prescription) in the Polish market. Homogeneous tools enabling the security and integrity of e-documents and the approval of electronic signatures and seals are particularly important for the operation of the e-prescription. To enable the transmission of e-prescriptions it is required to join basic information and communications technology (ICT) system that supports e-prescribing to the main electronic identification system called Identification Electronic Node. In order to implement the e-prescription model, the lanuching of electronic medical records is indispensable. In most EU countries the e-prescription is implemented with the interchange standard of medical records called Health Level Seven (HL7). In terms of identification and authentication in e-prescribing, the eIDAS regulation plays a significant role. The electronic prescription has long been used in many countries, among which Sweden was one of the earliest (Sjunet system). Patients, physicians, pharmacies and the state will all benefit from the implementation. Ultimately, prescribers would have to use tools that will make it possible to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and credibility of transactions.
