Minutes

• feedback on the workshop

• “Stofnaam” aka “Substance” should be changed by VOS-cluster. Under a VOS-cluster we understand the following:

• Same substance(s)
• Same strength
• Comparable package size
• Form of administration
• Additional info:

• to check: Contramal 100 mg vs Contramal 100 mg retard
• comparable package sizes are not packaged in Belgium (was under discussion once)
• different VMP's are grouped in a cluster code, same administration code, not form of administration (disrriminiation of syrop vs pills is done through strength)

• 12 scenario's have been defined

• Prescribed branded medication is changed by another branded medication from the same VOS-cluster
• Prescribed medication is changed by another medication from a different VOS-cluster

• Different strength, different package size or different form of administration is dispensed
• Different substance(s) is dispensed

• Dispense medication before the prescription of the general practitioner

• e.g. stomach protector that is delivered to the patient

• Dispense of prescribed medication, and dispense of a product that can be done without a prescription
• Dispense of new brand medication that is given because the old is unavailable, so giving to continu the cure and not to replace it
• Refuse the dispense prescribed medication
• Dispense of medication that was prescribed, but not taken

• e.g. an antibiotic that is prescribed when doing international travel as a safeguard

• Dispense of medication that was prescribed, but not taken till the end

• e.g. an antibiotic that is prescribed but when using the patient had an allergic reaction
• might be connected to scenario 3, when the pharmacist gives an alternative

• The recording of anesthetic, contrast and similar medications in the medication scheme
• The recording of non-medication aka pharmaceutical products

• Food supplement
• Sunscreen
• ...

• The view and/or filters for

• a GP
• a nurse / caretaker
• a pharmacist
• a specialist
• a patient

• The patient is admitted to hospital and there the medication is changed to better help the patient.

• patient is admitted, hospital takes over the medication from the scheme
• patient is discharged, hospital reconciles the medication that was used with the medication scheme
