The advancement of digital technology in the healthcare sector has encouraged the implementation of electronic prescription systems (e-prescriptions) as part of healthcare transformation in Indonesia. However, this system raises legal challenges, particularly regarding the protection of patient personal data. This study aims to analyze legal challenges in protecting patient data within e-prescription systems based on Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, supported by a case study in Central Lombok Regency. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by limited empirical case studies. The results indicate that although the legal framework exists, there are still regulatory gaps related to data security, supervision, and legal responsibility. The case study in Central Lombok shows that digital health practices are developing without adequate data protection standards. Therefore, stronger technical regulations are required to ensure optimal patient data protection.
