e-Prescribing specification

Nine months of work with health professionals, professional bodies and NHS trusts culminated last week in publication of the base-line version of the functional specification for e-prescribing in NHS hospitals in England.

Ann Slee, clinical lead for the e-Prescribing programme, said: “The document will be used to guide software development by NHS Connecting for Health’s local service providers (LSPs).”

A draft version of the specification was published for consultation late last summer (PJ, 2 September 2006, p269).
