  4. Hopefulin thebeginning • Pharmacy meetingatConnectathon in Pisa 2011 • The solutionseemsnear: Let‘stakethe „Austrian approach“ • Providethefollowingtotheprescriber: • All open prescriptions • All dispensesofthe last x months • Advantages • (Austrian) prescribersseem happy withthat • Information is easy toget • Yetquiteaccurat • Seemstobe a rathersufficientassistanceforPhysicians • Disadvantages • Somemedicationmightbeactivelongerandcouldbeoverseen (but work-aroundwouldbeathandbyenhancingthemedicationdatabase) • Expectedreactionofthegroup • Applause andkick-offto design IHE transactionstodeliverthisinformation • Actualreactionofthegroup • Nonono, thatisthoughtfarto simple  • Weneedmorethinkingaboutthistopic!

  6. Realisticafter recovering • Weneed … • tocollaboratewithotherstosortthat out • tothinkabout all thesourcesofmedicationinformation • Pharmacy, Oncology, Radiology, EHRs, Patient Summaries, … • tothinkabout all thecontextessuch informationis registered • Prescribing, Dispensing, MedicationReconciliation, DischargeSummaries, … • todefinethescopeIHE Pharmacy isable/allowedtocover In otherwords: Weneeded a Whitepaper

  7. Chaoticatthemoment • Many pieces are already on the table • The Whitepaper is drafted, but far from being final • Optimistic guess: Season 2012/2013 • The (huge) topic has been divided into two (still huge) tracks: • Bottom-up approach: „What do we have“ • Top-down approach: „What do we need“

  8. Chaoticatthemoment • Bottom-up approach: „What do we have“ • Objective of this approach • Identify Sources and Context • Identify the information sources and their respective context • Requirements for exchange • Expose the requirements for exchanging information between different systems in similar or different contexts • Common structure • Propose a reference structure that accommodates the representation of medication information of different sources

  9. Chaoticatthemoment • Top-down approach: „What do weneed“ • Working title: „Pharmacy EHR Functionalprofile“ • Collaborationworkwith HL7 Pharmacy • PhD Thesis is in themaking • Requirementsanalysisof … • … (1) thePharmacy partof an EHR • … (2) a Medicationprofile • Findings so far: • Pharmacy partof EHR: Phycisian‘sview • Medicationprofile: Pharmacist‘sview • Currentfocus on thequestion: Whereistheboundary? • Currentworkhypothesis: • Pharmacy partof EHR: foroptimal clinicaldecision • Medicationprofile: foroptimal Pharmaceuticaladvising

  10. Silverlinegets in sight • The „two track“ approach seem promising • Resulted in clear division of work • IHE: Lead in „bottom-up“ approach • HL7: Lead in „top-down“ approach • Will get a scientific foundation • By PhD thesis • Already developed concepts can likely be re-used • IHE, NCPDP, … • Many people enthusiastically engaged 

  11. Side effect: New profile? • MedicationTherapy Plan • „Howtorecord a change in medicationtherapywhenthereisnoprescription?“ • Anotherlevelas PRE/PADV/DIS workflow (CMPD) • Isimportantforbothtracks • Bottom-up: As additional source • Top-down: Mightbepartoftherequirements MedicationTherapy … Medication Order Medication Order … Prescription Pharm.
