NHS App - include EPS Medications (EPS FHIR RESTful API)

1 votes

The NHS Digital EPS Service acts as a prescription tracker and has real time information on both prescriptions and fulfilment of these prescription orders (dispensing). Suggestion is to expose that information to patients via NHS App.

This API could also be used to generate an electronic token for prescriptions within the NHS App.
This API can also be used by prescribers and dispensers to track prescriptions.
This API could also be used in medication reconciliation process in secondary care.

This suggestion is related to https://nhs-digital-api-management.featureupvote.com/suggestions/107510/electronic-prescription-service-eps-fhir-api-dispensing
which covers the business interactions between a dispenser and EPS -The Task.
This suggestion adds MedicationRequest and MedicationDispense query API's, which exposes the information being passed in the message events in EPS.

When the NHS App team has looked at EPS dispensing statuses in the past they were not very meaningful to patients. The EPS2 programme is looking at what can be done to make these more useful ("your prescription is out for delivery", "your prescription is ready for collection", "there is a problem - contact your nominated pharmacy")
