Safety recommendation
It is recommended that NHSX produces guidance for configuring the electronic discharge process, and how electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems should be interfaced with such a process.
Response:
We acknowledge and agree with the report’s recommendation that NHSX produce guidance for configuring the electronic discharge process, and how electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems should be interfaced with such a process. We are currently updating the transfer of care messaging specifications to support the dose syntax. Once completed we shall consider commissioning specific guidance on the ePMA interface.
We are happy to work in partnership with provider organisations to overcome any potential obstacles regarding modernisation and utilisation of standards and future guidance.
