Digital prescription systems have been introduced in public health facilities across Ghana to streamline medication dispensing processes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including quantitative data analysis from facility records and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals. Findings indicate that while initial uptake was high (85% of facilities adopted the systems), long-term sustainability remained challenging (60% reported continued use after two years). The digital prescription systems showed promise in initial deployment but struggled to maintain consistent usage over time. Investment should be prioritised on system maintenance and training programmes to ensure sustained functionality. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
