NEHTA Invent a Paper Based Electronic Prescribing System.

Just a quick heads up that NEHTA have released their first attempt at ETP (Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions) documentation.

These can be found here:

The key document is the Concept of Operations document. Amazingly it seems to assume just paper and no electronic transfer for now! They are also assuming there will be multiple providers of prescription repositories as best I can tell!

Comments due by 10 December 2009 – So get reading.

Read and be amused.

I may comment in detail next week as there are some great lines to be quoted.
