Notice Title
Primary Care Prescribing Decision Support System - Hertfordshire and West Essex
Notice Description
The Prescribing Decision Support Tool enables prescribers (GPs, nurses and pharmacists) to understand the recommended local choices for prescribing. The implementation of this system creates significant savings through prescribers accepting the recommended switches and also educates prescribers to select those first choice products the next time these are prescribed. The tool also provides safety messages at the point of prescribing. A contract to deliver the Prescribing Decision Support Tool across the Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) area has been awarded to Optum. This contract has been awarded via the SBS Framework for Medicines Management Prescribing Decision Support Systems 2 (Reference SBS/19/AB/WAS/9389).
