That system really sounds tedious.
Here blood results are sent to your "Hausarzt" (some doctor near you who you always go to for smaller stuff but also things like this) so he can decide what you should do (he knows you better than some random company).
X-Rays are instantly discussed with you (instantly may include waiting for an hour in the hospital). Sometimes additionally also sent to your "Hausarzt".
Pharmacies simply do offer your meds, if they have trouble getting them they contact other pharmacies but that was only the case during covid.
(And all that is paid for in tax money)
Pharmacies definitely sometimes need to order meds. Though often they just give you a date. It's impossible to always have every niche medication in stock. But if number whitelisting became common, it just wouldn't be an issue bc they would give all the relevant numbers to every customer.
