Case eP and PS At the pharmacy…..

1. Anna identifies herself 2. The pharmacist requests for validation of the identity and receives a

confirmation from the Swedish NCP 3. After having obtained Anna’s consent, the pharmacist requests for

Anna’s list of ‘available’ prescriptions from the prescription repository in Sweden

4. The pharmacist also wants to have a look at Anna’s medication summary and sends a request for information

5. Before the medicine is dispensed the pharmacist reports the information on this dispensing event and receives a confirmation from Sweden
