Digital Signature for Iranian Physicians

In a new step toward the digitalization of health care services, all physicians will be able to use a digital signature for medical prescriptions and patients' health records in a year, a deputy at Iran Medical Council said.
Mohammad Jahangiri added that the use of digital signature will also cut fraudulent actions and prevent the misuse of online prescriptions, along with the speedy processing and delivery of medicine in drugstores.
A digital signature is a specific type of electronic signature that identifies the signatory and authenticates the digital message or document with a digital code.
