Influencing patient safety through the wide distribution of electronic Product Information
In a world where we are increasingly bombarded with an abundance of content, it has never been more challenging to engage effectively with prescribers and patients.
A change is on the horizon - how we distribute medicines’ electronic Product Information (ePI) and embed it within healthcare systems is pivotal to enabling pharma to more effectively communicate with their audience, and improve medication adherence and patient safety.
Join us for an exciting day with leading industry experts to examine how changes to the distribution of digital medicines information will impact Regulatory Affairs, Med Info and Commercial Pharma.

Hear from our Customer Success Manager as she speaks on the variety of challenges facing Pharma with their medicine information today, and the unique solutions which can be adopted.

Transforming the patient experience through improved use of electronic Product Information
The capabilities of ePI (electronic Product Information) bring huge potential to improve patient outcomes around the world. Globally, the move to a new standard for ePI will make medicines information more easily accessible. It will allow better interoperability between systems, meaning that information flows more easily between Pharma, Regulators and Healthcare.
Learn about the future made possible by ePI, and how the upgraded emc publisher, due for release in late 2023, will support Pharma in their readiness.

Matthew Main, Product Manager, Datapharm

How Datapharm enhances patient safety through the distribution of your product information
Once Pharma has published its product information on emc or the dm+d database, it is fed through the UK healthcare ecosystem, which includes multiple publications, websites and healthcare IT systems.
During this session, you will learn how your information flows through to different healthcare systems, the ways it is used and how it is consumed by prescribers and patients.

Answering HCPs’ frequently asked questions through the SRD pilot on emc: the results and lessons learned
At the beginning of 2023, MILE and Datapharm brought together four major pharmaceutical companies to pilot a new feature on emc which provides access to self-service SRDs (Scientific Response Documents). The feature enables HCPs to find answers to frequently asked questions which are not directly covered within the SmPC.
Following the conclusion of the pilot, we look at how the new SRD feature benefits both Pharma and Healthcare, lessons learnt from the pilot and the role this service will be able to play in supporting clinical decisions in the healthcare setting.
Speakers:
Helen Surrey, Communications Lead, MILE (Medical Information Leaders in Europe)
