Scanning and uploading prescriptions for medication

In the ALS pharmacy program(https://www.ambulanzpartner.de/als-apothekenprogramm/), special care is supported with a new scan and upload function for prescriptions in the ALS app. With the scan and upload function, users of the ALS app can scan the classic (paper) prescription with the app and upload it to their patient account. The scan of the prescription is then used for the supply of the medication by a pharmacy in the ALS pharmacy program. The new function is intended to improve the specialized supply of medication from home.

Scanning a prescription via the ALS app takes just a few simple steps. The new function can be found on the “Care” page in the “My care” section. Please click on the menu item “My uploads”. After clicking, the “My uploads” page will open.

On the “My uploads” page, please select the “Add recipe” button. The “Add recipe” page will open, which you can use to scan your recipe with your smartphone camera. Once you have captured the recipe well, click on the black button at the bottom of the screen. This creates the scan of the recipe and displays it to you. If the recipe scan is successful, click on the “Upload” button. The scan of the prescription will then be uploaded to your patient account on the outpatient partner care portal. Your pharmacy in the ALS pharmacy program will be automatically informed of the new prescription upload and can start supplying it.

Medication supply management

Medication supply management

The prescription scan will be processed by your specialist pharmacy. Your pharmacy and/or case management will contact you by e-mail or telephone for further care.

It is important to know that prescription medication prescribed on a paper prescription may only be dispensed by the pharmacy on presentation of the original prescription. Therefore, please send your paper prescription to your pharmacy by post after scanning and uploading it. You can use a postage-paid envelope that you will receive from your pharmacy. As soon as your prescription arrives at the pharmacy, the medication will be sent to your address immediately.
