This National Annual Conference & Exhibition will focus on the optimisation of Hospital Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration on (HePMA). The conference will enable you to improve the use of electronic prescribing systems towards advanced eprescribing, closed loop medicines administration and advanced clinical decision support to ensuring the full clinical benefits are achieved. The conference will enable delegates to understand how they can use data from EPMA systems to drive improvement, and learn from case studies in higher risk EPMA areas such as paediatrics and mental health. The conference will also look at difficult issues such as the management of downtime, integration and mergers of systems. Case studies will demonstrate how AI can improve eprescribing, and how the role of digital clinical champions and digital heroes can enhance your eprescribing systems to ensure improvements in patient safety, staff satisfaction and efficiency.
The conference will discuss the safe use of EPMA in hospitals including risk mitigation areas you can investigate and update now as a result of findings from the the HSSIB medication related harm investigations which will be used to inform a national investigation into “The safe use of Electronic Prescribing and Administration Systems (ePMA) in acute hospitals” which will start in spring 2025.
“There must be a major tilt towards technology to unlock productivity.”
Summary letter from Lord Darzi to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Updated 15 November 2024
“an ePMA system in a hospital supports the safe, effective, and cost-effective use of medicines from a patient’s arrival at hospital until their discharge.”
HSIB December 2024
“The implementation of effective digital technologies has huge potential to improve safety in health and care, however this potential has not been fully realised to date.”
Professor Jonathan Benger, Chief Medical Officer, NHS Digital
