This year's General Assembly of the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) adopted a new Position Paper on Digital Health. The role of hospital pharmacists is changing and so is the environment they work in. Digitalisation is impacting a vast spectrum of healthcare services ranging from electronic prescribing, medical records, and automation, text message prompts that remind patients to take their medicine, and artificial intelligence revolutionising treatment.
The Position Paper encourages national governments, hospital administrations, and European institutions to take all necessary steps to ensure that a uniform informatic structure for health data and clear standards for the interoperability of information technology systems used in healthcare is in place. In this sense, decision-makers at both national and European levels need to ensure the involvement of hospital pharmacists in the design, development, and specification of parameters as well as the evaluation and maintenance of information communication technology within the medicines processes. Furthermore, the European Commission and Member States need to establish funding programmes that support hospitals in updating their digital infrastructure.
To ensure that no one is left behind, there should be the complementary use of paper and electronic patient information leaflets where access of patients to the information cannot be ensured otherwise. Also, a recommendation is given to raising awareness among users and appropriate regulatory oversight mechanisms for digital health applications to ensure that they have a positive impact and adequately protect patient data.

Dear Steering Committee members,
The below e-mail is on behalf of Sofia:
As discussed recently, IHE Europe is one of the last organisation to not
have provided comments on the EHDS Regulation. The goal of this meeting
would be in a first time to identify the areas in the regulation that IHE
would like to comment, and in a second time, to address those comment and
draft a whitepaper.
If you would like to participate, please indicate your availabilities in the
doodle here:

Hope to see most of you in the meeting,
