The 840 pharmacies located in the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV) will stop cutting the voucher for prescription medicines by a doctor before next summer and then sticking it on a sheet, as the billing will be digital and automatic.
The Department of Health is adapting pharmacy management systems by reading the datamatrix code that appearsindrug packaging to allow "nean and online billing." It is expected that "work from the last century" can be left behind "between now and the summer."
This was explained by the Director of Pharmacy, Jon Iñaki Betolaza, at an event held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where the Health Counselor, Alberto Martínez, and the President of the Official College of Pharmacists of the Basque Country, Milagros Lopez de Ocariz, presented Osakidetza's programs with pharmacies.
Nine programmes are currently under way, with a budget of EUR 2 million this year, including the programme to improve the use of medication and the home dispensing of medicines in rural areas of Álava, asthma adherence, rapid HIV screening tests, methadone treatment and a plan to warn of shortages.
The Counsellor has also advanced that work is also under way on new programmes such as datamatrix code billing. In addition, she has explained that a follow-up programme is planned for polymedicated patients with type 2 diabetes, the implementation of a pilot project for the dispensing of hospital medicines by pharmacies and the dissemination of a communication programme between pharmacies and health centres.
Martinez has stressed that they will advocate "strengthening the role of the pharmacy as a health officer "as they are often a person's first contact with the health system.
