Computerised physician order entry (CPOE), and in particular ePrescribing, is high on the agenda in many regions and countries of Europe. Improved patient safety, considerable reductions in costs, and avoidance of fraud are key drivers. Concrete experience and lessons learned from implementations in quite diverse European health system contexts will be presented.

The rising number of patients with chronic conditions and the need for better disease and case management is widely recognised. Less understood is the second implication of the demographic changes, namely the shrinking workforce in healthcare. It is only the eHealth-enabled continuity of healthcare that can answer the recent challenges to all health systems in Europe and health systems worldwide.

PS28: Evidence in Patient Safety

When: 17 March, 17:00
Location: Room CCIB

Prof Michael ThickChief Clinical OfficerNHS Connecting for HealthUnited Kingdom
IT systems should improve care, but may pose equal or greater risks to patient safety if used poorly or badly developed. IT systems should therefore be regarded as healthcare interventions with potential to cause harm, and subjected to the same scrutiny and rigor in validation and testing as any new therapy. This session will explore the rational, principles and solutions which contribute to evidence based IT systems which improve patient safety.
