EHTEL ePrescribing Seminar 2004 (Amsterdam)
"ePrescribing - An Overview of Challenges and Experiences in Europe":European nations are moving forward from national Health-IT strategies to the implementation of eHealth services. Hence, many new services are already or will soon become available for the European consumers and patients. The scope of the information day was to inform about what is going on in European countries with regard to ePrescribing as well as to bring awareness about the benefits and drawbacks. Information on implementation in many European nations have been a key element of the seminar.
There is an overwhelming business case for improving the prescribing and medication management process with ICTs and there is a sentiment that ePrescribing will take a central role in reducing errors, increasing quality, reducing costs and delivering effective clinical care in many nations and regions in Europe.
