Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions (NHS)
- Electronic Transfer of Prescriptions (NHS)
The ETP (Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions) programme is part of the National Programme for IT of the National Health Service in England. It will deliver the Electronic Prescription Service, enabling the electronic transfer of medical prescriptions from doctors (or other prescribers) to pharmacies and other dispensers and electronic notification to the reimbursement agency, the NHS BSA Prescription Pricing Division.
The project is to be delivered in two phases. Phase one retains the paper prescription and adds a bar_code to it allowing pharmacy to access a centrally held copy of the prescription. This phase has been extensively deployed among General_practitioner systems an slightly less so in pharmacy systems.
In phase two an electronic prescription can be used where the patient nominates a pharmacy. This could be sent electronically although a paper token may be printed off also. Currently no practice or pharmacy systems have been certified to phase two.
