Description of programme
"Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing"

Responding to the challenge of an aging population, research and innovation (R&I) under Horizon 2020 is an investment in better health for all. It aims to keep older people active and independent for longer and supports the development of new, safer and more effective interventions. R&I under Horizon 2020 also contributes to the sustainability of health and care systems.

Call

Scaling up the univocal Identification of Medicinal Products

Description of call
"Scaling up the univocal Identification of Medicinal Products"

Since substitution is regularly necessary to dispense a foreign ePrescription (eDispensation), a univocal identification of medicinal products would enable and enhance the dispensation of a foreign ePrescription and would provide benefits to patient health, patient safety, pharmacovigilance and would also allow better data analysis of clinical records.
Proposals under this call should focus on:

Cross-border mobility of European patients by offering safer eDispensations across borders
Implementation of the IDMP standards in Member States drug databases allowing the identification of locally available medicinal products which are equivalent to the one identified in a foreign prescription
