Data related to medicinal products are needed in a large majority of healthcare transactions. Today, e-prescribing systems are spreading steadily across Europe. While they are important, they are only a starting point to delivering real clinical value. The collaborative and integrated management of the patient medication record requires even more ambitious developments: these are now considered an implementation priority by an increasing number of countries. In this session, we will learn what implementation meant practically for a few of them.

► Towards a global medicinal products data integration: a Belgian perspective
Dirk Broeckx, IFB Health Care Networks, Belgium
In Belgium, we face a puzzle of (four) services and (many) platforms related to the management of medicinal products: Why? And how does it work today? Learn about the foreseen evolution with the VIDIS/FHIR project in the context of BIHR (Belgian Integrated Health Record). The presentation will also explore ways to use already what exists in a more clever way with the ‘VMP-Medication-Overview’ and current A.I. at work on posology's (patient instructions). How could we standardise and code in a pragmatic way?
► Integrated management of medication record: A view from a personal health record developer
Vincent Keunen, Andaman7, Belgium
The personal health record (PHR) is today a very powerful tool to improve patient care and safety and connect directly patients with clinical research. The advanced drug management module developed by Andaman7 has the objective to make this possible now, even in the absence of a mature public digital health infrastructure. The bottom-up approach followed does not require data storage in the cloud since all transactions take place on the secured environment of the patient smartphone.
► Moderated debate with speakers
