This page documents the activities of the IHE Pharmacy (PHARM) domain in doing strategic planning.
Strategic Priorities
The PHARM domain currently plans to work in the following areas:
- Promote widespread adoption and implementation of IHE Pharmacy developed profiles
- Marketing and promoting the profiles globally
- Reaching out for national/regional e-Prescription programs in order to (1) learn requirements and demands which lead to developments within IHE Pharmacy and (2) stimulate leveraging of IHE Pharmacy profiles as basis for their national specifications
- Improve information exchange between healthcare providers and organizations that depend on Pharmacy related workflows and processes
- Develop ways to automate collaborative workflow between physicians and pharmacists in both community and hospital pharmacy environment
- Establishing and maintaining collaboration
- to other IHE domains
- to HL7 Pharmacy
- to ISO TC215 WG6 Pharmacy
- to NCPDP
Capabilities
The PHARM domain has defined the following categories to organize the profiles it has published so far.
Capabilities | Description | PHARM profiles (2013) |
---|---|---|
Community Pharmacy | Profiles in the Community Pharmacy category support the ability to handle the entire workflow from the act of the prescription of a medication to the dispense of the medication to the patient (e.g. at a pharmacy) in a non-hospital environment (primary care). This includes the ability to submit, locate/list and retrieve patient specific prescription, pharmaceutical advice and dispense information, which is entirely based on the HL7 CDA standard. | CMPD, PRE, PADV, DIS |
Hospital Pharmacy | Profiles in the Hospital Pharmacy category support the ability to handle the entire workflow from the act of the prescription of a medication to the administration of the medication to the patient (e.g. by a nurse) in a hospital environment, which is entirely based on HL7 v2 messaging standards. | HMW |
Categories
The PHARM domain has identified the following areas of expertise and weaknesses.
Category | Areas of expertise | Areas of outreach |
---|---|---|
Common | Medication Management, Medication formulary | HL7 Pharmacy, ISO TC215 WG6, International |
