The prescriptions of drugs and exams after non private fees examinations (with prescription in charge of the SSN), after examinations in ER and/or after hospital discharge must be compiled on the book of prescriptions of the SSN by the doctorsi that made the examinations.
This provided by a legislative decree approved by the italian parliament for patient sake of the patient that, after discharge, would have to go to the surgery of the GP, that, in that moment couldn’t be in the surgery (e.r. Saturday afternoon) only for bureucratic duties; with foreseeble discomforts for the patients and unnecessary surgeries crowding. Similar norms, with the same aim, is applicable to the illness certificates that MUST always be compiled by doctors after hospital or ER discharge.
