Provider coverage is initially limited, but envisaged to cover all providers in future years. Of note, Latvia has been working closely with Estonia to leam from their experiences in introducing e-health system. For instance, health care providers can issue e-prescriptions so that patients can purchase medications in any pharmacy in the country', and this will enable providers to monitor medication safety' when multiple drugs are prescribed for patients. Likewise, co-ordination across providers is expected to improve by avoiding, for example, duplicated diagnostic tests and informing GPs when their patient is discharged from hospital.
