Overview and introduction about the topic

Jürgen discribe the slide presented. Is that correct ?

• Status in PHARM (Jürgen)

Pharmacy transactions are talking to the medication administration informer, behind it's a black box. Need to define the information needed by the medication administration informer, populate the PHARM-4 administration report, with the right data.

• Status in PCD (Todd Cooper)

2 ways of getting informations from devices DEC (Device Enterprise Communication) profile (with periodic data about infusion) & IPEC ( with events & rate changes)

Discussion

• Overlaps and boundaries

Todd, for PCD's perspective, want to know what kind of software a medication administration informer can be.

PIV profile is defined to be retricted to a (barecode medication administration) BCMA system.

• use case 1 :

For a pump,thre is 2 diffrents actors : the information come from a programmer and send to a consumer actor.

• use case 2 (IPEC):

send to a device observation consumer (for documentation purpose)to produce a flow sheet.

On the US market, sometimes it's the same system and sub-systems, sometimes not. What a medication administration informer can be ?

In many cases, the medication administration informer is an eMAR software (Vassil).

(Marc)In the HMW, who's registring an administration, it can be the a medication administration informer , but a nurse too. Manual or automatic entries.

35:00

• Questions of Todd:

• The infusion-related systems that PCD profiles support include: BCMA (for point-of-care 5 rights verification), eMAR (for capturing when an administration is started) and a flow sheet / chart (time based chart that enables clinicians to view parameters from multiple sources - including devices - at a point in time)

• Do you use similar systems in Europe?
• Are there similar or additional systems that you use?

• Examples of real-world systems that implement the Pharmacy domain actors?
• Do you know of any differences between Pharmacy system integration / medication administration support in Europe vs. the U.S.?
