Formulary management system wins award
The award-winning system in use |
An intranet-hosted formulary management system has won this year's First DataBank Europe Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists Information Technology Award.
University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s formulary
management system allows users to search through an online version of
the trust’s formulary.
Anthony Grosso, formulary pharmacist at UCLH, told The Journal that the
Inform system can be accessed by staff across the trust and specialist
pharmacists in each area of care have been given passwords so that they
can update the formulary.
The system is used by a mix of staff, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists,
and is used around the clock, suggesting that staff on call have found
the system helpful, Mr Grosso said.
The award was established to encourage, support and promote information
technology initiatives and best practice in the use of IT in pharmacy.
The pharmacy department at UCLH will be presented with £2,500 in
June 2007.
