Discussion on FMD.
- Links by Leonidas:
Difference between Falsified and Counterfeit
Blog with the summary from EAHP
- Discussion: scanning of all items is not practical and poses problems. These problems introduced by the FMD can be minimized or resolved by having proper interoperability like IHE recommends.
- How to address this in IHE
- Add a few paragraphs to whitepaper
- Create a new "educational" paper - as agreed in Chania - with the topic "falsified medicines directive…" to explain how IHE addresses some of the challenges, or how the work in IHE gives arguments to the ongoing discussion.
Next steps
- Work group is defining (until 25 September) the content of this new paper. Also adding some content if it is feasible.
- Then the work group will raise this matter to the Pharmacy committee to decide Go/NoGo with the publication of such document.
- Meanwhile Jose will ask Mary if this off-cycle publication is possible by IHE.
White Paper
Current version is on FTP site: whitepaper (Under revision, read at your own risk...)
- Jose will notify the group that a new version of the whitepaper is available
