OpenMedicine

OpenMedicine was a Horizon 2020 funded PHC, Grant agreement No.643796. UNICOM builds on the gaps recognized in OpenMedicine. Some relevant deliverables are listed below for reference as background material.
YearTitleDescriptionDownload
2016D1.3 Initial openMedicine infostructureThis deliverable’s goal is to present a multi standards framework that underpins solutions to identified issues in epSOS: the EU crossborder health data exchange specifications and its pilot results. In particular the identification of medicinal products and the attention to factors related to multiple contexts are addressed creating an infostructure, based on a multi standards framework.PDF File
2016D2.3 Final identifying and descriptive attributesThis deliverable’s goal is to present the final list of identifying and descriptive attributes of medicinal products. It also gives implementation recommendations based on the materials developed in other openMedicine deliverables. D2.3 has provided relevant input to D3.2, which will extend the attribute lists to special products.PDF File
2016D3.2 Identification and description of special productsThis report extends the solution towards supporting the identification and the description of such “special” products. Furthermore, it also presents the definition of alternative and complementary use cases where the unambiguous identification of such medicinal or/and pharmaceutical products is needed.PDF File
2016D4.1 Other descriptive needs, product administration and alternative treatmentsThis document presents clusters as a tool for grouping products with the same preselected attributes. It explores the concepts behind cluster formation and useful attributes which can help in a cross-border setting for such purpose.PDF File
2016D5.2 Meeting the substitution challenge: Member State regulations and core cross-border issues - results and recommendationsThis report reviews the initial openMedicine definitions of substitution and selection of a medicinal product at the point of dispensation in a community/retail pharmacy. the revised analytical framework concerning substitution and selection issues.PDF File
2016D6.3 Recommendations and Implementation RoadmapThis document presents some of the conclusions of the openMedicine project. Two high level and ten action-oriented recommendations are formulated. All of them, except one, address issues related to the univocal identification of a medicine when dispensing in a cross-border context an electronic prescription or when displaying a Patient Summary abroad. One recommendation addresses the issue of "substitution" in the EU.PDF File
