BACKGROUND: The e-prescriptions service connects primary healthcare centers and hospitals to selected community pharmacies in various locations to allow easy access to the nearest pharmacy in the neighborhood, thus facilitating the process of drug dispensing. This study aims to assess patients' satisfaction towards Wasfaty services delivered by Ministry of Health healthcare centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Al Ahsa province in Saudi Arabia among adult patients who used Wasfaty services. An electronic Arabic questionnaire including demographic characteristics of patients and questions to assess their satisfaction level with the e-prescription "Wasfaty" service in terms of different aspects. RESULTS: A total of 481 participants were included in the study. Females represented 53.4% of them, and 28.1% were aged 50 years or over. Overall, most of the patients (84.1%) were either satisfied or strongly satisfied with the service (4.28 ± 0.57). After controlling for confounding, patients with chronic diseases were more satisfied with the "wasfaty" service compared to those without chronic diseases. The history of chronic disease was responsible for approximately 2.4% variability of patient satisfaction (-square = 0.024). Patients' geographic region, age, sex, and educational level were not significantly associated with their satisfaction with "wasfaty" service. CONCLUSION: The majority of patients, particularly those with chronic diseases, were satisfied with Wasfaty service. However, less satisfaction was observed regarding medication availability.
