As pointed out by previous studies, fragmentation of health information based on medical prescription is a prevalent health crisis across the globe. Several countries such as Finland, Estonia, and Germany have adopted the electronic health system to eradicate these medical errors1 . As suggested by the health professionals, the major health concerns in modern healthcare are prescription error elimination and patients' safety. So, eprescription is proposed as the most effective health approach to provide long-term solutions by replacing manually written prescriptions2 . Electronic health is a computerized medical system with an expansive database of patients' information. Despite its speculated benefits on the health industry, e-prescription implementation has experienced various challenges such as patients and pharmacists resistance3 . Therefore, this paper explores the health benefits of e-prescriptions in Estonia and Finland and their status in Germany.
In 2004, the German Legislature approved medical centers for statutory-health-insurance-accredited medical care. This resulted in fundamental changes to the German Healthcare System.
The vaccination rate is on the decline as parents avoid making frequent visits to healthcare facilities to visit doctors. The high cost of healthcare access in Germany, the United States, and other parts of the world has resulted in many people remaining under vaccinated or unvaccinated. The rate of pandemic outbreaks in Europe has highlighted the significance of improved communication and education about the safety and the efficacy of vaccinations alongside effective strategies of reducing the rate of disease transmission1 . Pandemics have unprecedented impacts on the families’ health and pressure on healthcare systems in Europe. During pandemics, there is widespread fear in families concerning how the pandemics will affect families and communities more especially to the compromised people in society, such as pregnant women and people with chronic illnesses. Although pharmaceutical practices are under intensive scrutiny, pharmacies' vaccinations comprise an important element in the healthcare system for pandemic diseases.
A health network is made up of institutions and organizations, resources, and people whose main purpose is to promote and improve health. The health care system in Germany is self-administering and is managed by multiple institutions and stakeholders which entails different organizations involved in the running of the health care as well as the structure of the health care system. The health care system is composed of three main areas: 1) outpatient care services, 2) inpatient care, 3) rehabilitation institutions. Some of the organizations and institutions that are mandated to run the health system include associations and representatives of different professions and service providers, regulatory bodies, health insurance companies, the Federal Ministry of Health, self-help groups, and patient-centered organizations. The German health care system is made up of four main principles: 1) compulsory insurance, 2) the principle of solidarity, 3) financing through insurance premiums, 4) selfgovernance. The goal of health care networks is to improve the overall performance of the health care systems concerning: 1) economic efficiency, 2) quality of health care services, 3) medical innovation, 4) as well as patient satisfaction.
