    Shortages are an issue we hear about regularly from hospitals. Triscribe role is mainly about trying to give pharmacists and procurement teams better information to understand shortage risks.

    That's really useful Clive and it explains a lot. Unfortunately, NPFIT was a bad idea from a very different era of technology. I suspect that legacy is causing some challenges.

    Thanks for summarising this Clive. I guess it raises a couple of questions in my mind. 1. Not having EPRs (and other basic electronic systems) is also a risk to patient safety. I know there are many gaps in many hospitals where paper records are still in use. Has there ever been any assessment of the risks this poses? 2. The NHS has some fairly demanding and detailed processes and standards for ensuring the safety of IT systems for example DTAC and the various medical device regulations that apply. This suggest to me these are ineffective. Rather than add another layer of complexity to address the points raised, is it time to take a step back? Simplify, clarify and modernise how we use IT to actually help staff and improve patient care.

    Looks like an interesting event. Apparently medicines account for 25% of the NHS carbon footprint. Goodness knows how they arrive at that number since there seems to be very little data on the actual carbon footprint of medicines. One of my ideas for Triscribe is to help change this.

    This report highlights and important problem which has implications well beyond the role of ICSs. I agree with the conclusion that safety should be a fifth aim of ICSs and I would extend that to include patient and staff safety. I am not sure the other recommendations will make a real difference. Clarifying and updating remits seems like housekeeping to me. One of the fundamental problems with ICSs is that they become simply another layer of bureaucracy and management. This report illustrates the risks confusion of purpose presents for patient safety. Why not recommend that some of these committees and bodies be abolished. Replace them with a clear role for ICSs to improve patient safety.

    Better use of data for medication safety in hospitals

    Kenny Fraser

    Kenny Fraser posted a topic in Medicine management

    NHS hospital staff spend countless hours capturing data in electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems. Yet that data remains difficult to access and use to support patient care. This is a tremendous opportunity to improve patient safety, drive efficiencies and save time for frontline staff. I have just published a post about this challenge and Triscribe's solution. I would love to hear any comments or feedback on the topic... How could we use this information better? What are hospitals already doing? Where are the gaps? Thanks

    NHS hospital staff spend countless hours capturing data in electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems. Yet that data remains difficult to access and use to support patient care. This is a tremendous opportunity to improve patient safety, drive efficiencies and save time for frontline staff. In this blog, Kenny Fraser, CEO of Triscribe, explains why we need to deliver quick, low-cost improvement using modern, open source software tools and techniques. We don’t need schemes and standards or metrics and quality control. The most important thing is to build software for the needs and priorities of frontline pharmacists, doctors and nurses.
