Hi Thomas, The Netherlands is implementing the exchange of medication messages in order to achieve the full list of a patient of current and past medications and prescriptions. Current pharmacy and gp systems have a DSS system in place that tackles interactions.
It is probably not perfect, but coming in the direction you suggest. I agree that this is an interesting topic to tackle further and harmonize. A lot is already put into the HL7 CEN ISO CDISC and IHTSDO harmonization work, where pharmacy is now a priority topic. William In a message dated 22-11-2008 12:20:57 W.
