Validate the Vitalink medication scheme

Mandatory

Pharmacists state that if they have final responsibility for the uploaded of the Vitalink medication scheme, they want to see the full Vitalink medication scheme (combined overview) before uploading the scheme.

This means that if they choose to see the Vitalink medication scheme when scanning medication or actively go there, they can press a 'Validate Vitalink medication scheme' button (or a 'Validate Vitalink medication scheme later' button).

The pharmacist can choose whether he/she is validating at that time or is not yet doing anything and is waiting for the creation of the bill.

On the screen regarding the creation of the bill, the pharmacist must be able to call up the Vitalink medication scheme and then validate or validate it without opening it (when the pharmacist has already checked the Vitalink medication scheme during the delivery).

In case of a complicated EMR, the pharmacist must be able to place the Vitalink medication scheme on a 'to do' list so that it can be analyzed in detail later and then uploaded to Vitalink. So a 'validate later' button must be present.

The combined overview of the medication scheme is always accessible with one click (eg via switching between 2 tabs) and is therefore never closed.

The pharmacist receives feedback on the upload of the Vitalink medication scheme when the patient's EMR is closed.

It must be possible at all times to be able to open the EMR, and consequently the Vitalink medication scheme of different patients at the same time (eg telephone contact with another patient during a consultation).

If the pharmacist does not want the medication scheme (now, will have to do it later) to be uploaded to Vitalink, he should have the option to validate later (put on a 'to do' list) or to not validate it yet.

If the pharmacist decides, at a later date, to validate this medication scheme, Vitalink must check whether the Vitalink medication scheme in the EMR is the latest version.

• This means that when opening an item from the 'to do' list, the relevant Vitalink medication scheme must be re-loaded.
• If applicable, a message should be shown that a more recent Vitalink medication scheme will be shown.
• The medication schemes that are 'to be validated later' must also be removed from the 'to do' list.

A medication scheme can not 'to be validated' for more than x number of days. This number of days must be parametrisable. Afterwards, the GP is obliged by a notification to validate the medication scheme (and is uploaded to Vitalink) or take another action (not validate).

Recommendations

• It is important that the 'to do' list for later validation of medication schemes and uploading to Vitalink can be managed efficiently.

  • Provide the pharmacist with a reminder functionality in which he / she can set up to be reminded within x time to validate the medication scheme on the 'to do' list and send it to Vitalink.
