User cases of the patient information system

This page describes the use cases of the patient information system. The table includes a summary of the valid versions.

The document describes the functionality required to implement electronic prescriptions in terms of the associated information systems and their users. Each use case describes what the user and the patient information system need to do in order for the user to be able to perform an independent, brief, one-time action that supports their other activities. The descriptions do not specify precise technical details but instead the functional objective to be achieved.

More detailed information about the specifications are available on the Finnish-language page.
