Linked Care aims to help healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, pharmacists) interact efficiently and safely with IT support to improve patient information flows. It focuses on the medication ordering process, which currently involves time-consuming steps like calling doctors and traveling to get prescriptions. The project targets nursing staff, doctors, pharmacists, and patients, with indirect benefits for hospitals, social welfare organizations, and insurance bodies. This study evaluates the Linked Care solution by addressing the research question: Does an electronic ordering system improve the efficiency and quality of the regular medication process?
