Community pharmacy Use Cases

-Document : xxx -Assumption : --Community pharmacy Use Cases and transactions will be aligned with IHE XDS Use Cases/ transactions : --Document centric actors : prescripton provider -Feedback : -- Terminology : use IHE terms where appropriate : e.g. prescription repository instead of prescription registry); name an actor by their role and not by their implementation (e.g. IT infrastructure provider instead of college of pharmacists; prescription producer instead of prescription modules, …) -- Security : add security mechanisms (authentications, auditing, encryption) in the sequence diagrams -- Domain model : --- Prescription attributes : Medication (dose, frequency, instruction), optional : symptions, diagnosis --- Dispensed medication attributes: dispensed medication, link to original prescription. -- Future work (>2009) --- Define the complete business process for e-pharmacy as a basis for identifying the critical use cases ---Create Prescription (as part of CPOE) which contains transactions to drug database --Actions : --- All : send the minimal set of prescription/dispensed medication attributes that are required for a particular country to Juan Nunez

Hospital pharmacy Use Cases

-Document : xxx - Assumption : --Hospital pharmacy Use Cases and transactions will be aligned with IHE Use Cases/ transactions of other hospital departments --IHE/Scheduled Workflow centric actors : order filler = prescriber -Feedback : - Prioritize the Use Cases so that the realization fit in the 18 monts time interval of IHE. --- year1 priorities : basic prescription, simple substitution use case , exit medication (as consistency check between community and hospital pharmacy actors) -- year2+ priorities : complicated substitution use case, injectable follow-up use case,… -- Align terms with community pharmacy use cases : --- Rename “picking and dose preparation” actor into dispenser actor --- Rename Administration by “Medication administration manager” -- Add formulary = list of medication (+permission rules) in hospital; used for substitution -- Define the actor in terms of its responsibilities and need in terms of the actions that he performs. Include possible realizations for clarification

IHE Pharmacy domain

- The current IHE Europe – Pharmacy workgroup will evolve to a new global IHE Pharmacy domain that will take ownership for creating the technical specifications with the current Use Cases as input. - The creation of the IHE Pharmacy domain will consists of the following steps : --Identification of primarily users, vendors and sponsoring organizations (e.g. hospital pharmacy associations like xxx) -- Submission of application form that details scope, members/sponsors, roadmap ,, ---Action : G. Claeys will circulate a 1st draft before mid July -- IHE International will review the application form and will make a go/no go decision : +- august - IHE follows a development heartbeat of 18 months - from initial use case to testing of implementations at connectathons - Timing : -- September 2008 : completion of Use Cases -- July 2009 : completion of Technical Framework -- Spring 2010 : test implementations at connectathons

Miscellaneous
