PROMoting Informed and Shared decisions about E-Health solutions for older adults with cognitive impairments and their informal caregivers (PROMISE)

S. Dequanter, M. Fobelets & R. Buyl

The number of older adults with cognitive impairments (MCI, dementia) is growing in fast pace. The development of technologies dedicated to health and well-being (e-Health) offers potential to support these older adults and their informal caregivers, but is not always adapted to their needs and preferences. This FWO funded bilateral collaborative Flanders-Québec project supports these groups in making informed and shared decisions about e-Health solutions to improve their health and well-being and to facilitate aging in place. The research project includes qualitative research methods as well as systematic literature reviews and ultimately, the development of an electronic decision support tool.

End-to-end errors in the Belgian electronic prescription

S. Van Laere & R. Buyl

The Belgian electronic prescription has found its entry in Belgium in 2007. Since 2013, pilot tests have been set up and in 2014 the Recip-e project has found its entrance to the broad Belgian public. One of the biggest changes came in 2017 in this project by means of a unique Recip-e ID (RID) barcode printed on top of each proof of electronic prescription to facilitate the pharmacist. In this project we investigate possible errors in the workflow between the traditional 3 Ps (prescriber, patient and pharmacist) and the tarification service.
