# eRx Submission Validations

Posting an eRx (electronic prescription) to UAE health regulatory systems such as **NABIDH**, **Riayati**, and **Malaffi** requires adherence to specific validation rules and standards. Below are the key validations:

***

### **General eRx Validations**

* **Patient Details**:
  * Valid Emirates ID or MRN (Medical Record Number).
  * Patient name and date of birth must match official records.
  * Gender-specific medications require validation based on patient gender.
* **Prescriber Details**:
  * Valid doctor license number issued by the regulatory authority (DHA, MOHAP, DOH).
  * Healthcare facility license must be valid and registered under the respective regulatory body.
* **Prescription Details**:
  * Medication must be approved within the regulatory formulary.
  * The dosage, frequency, and duration must align with clinical guidelines.
  * Quantity calculation must match dosage and duration.
  * Route of administration (ROA) should be specified for accurate delivery.

### **NABIDH (Dubai Health Authority - DHA)**

* **System Integration:** Prescriptions must be submitted through systems integrated with NABIDH.
* **Emirates ID**: Mandatory for both nationals and residents.

### **Error Handling Validations**

* **Duplicate Submission**: The system checks for duplicate prescriptions within a specific timeframe.
