The National Programme for IT in the NHS and hospital boards should put e-prescribing at the top of their agendas because of the huge patient safety benefits to be gained, a round-table discussion has concluded. The round table on e-prescribing, jointly organised by E-Health Insider and the British Computer Society’s Health Informatics Forum, brought together academics, clinicians and industry experts to discuss the benefits of e-prescribing and what the acute sector could learn from primary care, where it is well established. The executive summary is also available. (e-Health Insider - news)
