Subject: Consortium espagnol recherche partenaire  français pour projet ETEN en eprescription 

Le Collège de Pharmaciens de Valencia veut présenter un Market Validation sur
l'ePrescription, et voudrait bien avoir un partenariat Français associé.  

back ground 

Many EU member states are in different phases of implementation of
ePrescription systems at a national or regional level:

•       Sweden (2000) (45% prescriptions are already electronic),
•       Finland (pilots in 2003-2004)
•       Belgium
•       France
•       United Kingdom
•       Germany
•       Spain
•       Portugal

In Spain, several regional administrations have developed their own models,
among them Valencia, with the full commitment and participation of the Colegio
Oficial de Farmacéuticos de Valencia.


The interoperability between different ePrescription systems to cope with
citizens’ mobility is hampered by several barriers:

Heterogeneity of health models:

•       Public and private health models at the different member states and
their regions are heterogeneous.

Lack of technological infrastructures:

•       Equipment, connections and software required to carry transactions all
the way between doctors prescribing and pharmacies delivering are not always
existing, or compatible. 

Lack of standards:

•       Patient identification supports (health cards), prescription
formats and
nomenclators of pharmacy products are different from country to country. 

Language barriers

Therefore the cycle from prescription to delivery of medicines becomes
extremely complex as cross-border mobility of EU citizens grows.


The project MEDS proposes the market validation of a system with the following
functionalities:

•       To identify the medicines prescribed to a specific citizen
(assigned to
him through an electronic prescription), with independence of the country or
region where the prescription was originated,

•       To deliver pharmaceutical products to users with open electronic
prescriptions with independence of the pharmacy’s geographic location,
updating
their prescription record, 

•       To provide users at the pharmacy with a printed copy of the medicine’s
brochure in their mother tongue.

        The system will provide full traceability of the transactions, for
clinic as well as economic purposes. 

Consortium espagnl

•       The Colegio Oficial de Farmaceuticos de Valencia, Coordinator of MEDS,
is building a local consortium that will include the main stakeholders in
Valencia:

o       The Regional Ministry of Health (Consellería de Sanidad) 
o       A private Hospital
o       A public Hospital
o       Technological partners (operators, software integrators)

•       The Colegio Oficial de Farmacéuticos is a public-law non-profit
organization representing the 1400 pharmacies in the province of Valencia.
Over
100 of these establishments will be selected for participation in this
project.

•       Valencia receives every year millions of visitors from the EU
countries,
making it a perfect site for pilot testing a transeuropean service involving
citizens’ mobility

•       An eTEN project requires a transnational consortium made up by a
minimum
of two organizations from two different EU member states. 

•       Nevertheless, in order to carry a sound market validation process, the
Colegio de Farmacéuticos de Valencia is looking for  a bigger consortium
involving at least two other EU countries or regions, besides Valencia.

•       The main requirement is to have a working electronic prescription
system, and the capacity to commit the support of the main national/regional
stakeholders, including the Administration, prescription organizations, and a 
significant number of pharmacies.
