The big-data revolution in US health care: Accelerating value and innovation. A big-data revolution is under way in health care.
Start with the vastly increased supply of information. Over the last decade, pharmaceutical companies have been aggregating years of research and development data into medical databases, while payors and providers have digitized their patient records. Meanwhile, the US federal government and other public stakeholders have been opening their vast stores of health-care knowledge, including data from clinical trials and information on patients covered under public insurance programs. How big data can revolutionize pharmaceutical R & D. Thomas Goetz: It's time to redesign medical data.
ePrescription. In general, the electronic Prescription Service ( ePrescription ) consists of electronic prescribing and electronic dispensing: ePrescribing is defined as the electronic prescribing of medicine with the use of software by a legally authorized health professional and the electronic transmission of said prescription data to a pharmacy where the medicine can then be dispensed.eDispensing is defined as the electronic retrieval of a prescription and the dispensing of the medicine to the patient as indicated in the corresponding ePrescription.
Once the medicine has been dispensed, the dispenser is to report the dispensation information using the ePrescription software. The epSOS ePrescriptions electronically transmitted to pharmacies in epSOS partner countries contain the currently available ePrescriptions for the medications, i.e. all prescriptions that could also be dispensed in the patient’s home country at that moment.
