| 08:05 – 08:25 | MOWE-0401 – Innovating for the future in Norwegian pharmacies – New common pharmacy IT-system Mrs Hanne Andresen, Mrs Hilde Ariansen, Mrs Anne-Lise Härter Pharmacies in Norway have a long tradition of using a common IT solution. Changes in regulations and the need for new innovative solutions that support the pharmacies’ mission and their position in the health system, are the reasons why the entire industry has decided to develop a new shared national pharmacy system, including a shared pharmacy patient record. This session will provide insights into the project, starting with the background that led to the initiative, the intended purpose of the new system, and a detailed description of the solution itself. The methodology used in the development of the system will be discussed, as well as the results achieved to date |
| 08:25 – 08:45 | MOWE-0402 – Evolution of the pharmaceutical profession in Brazil in the past decade Dr da Silva Jorge Joao Walter For the past ten years, pharmacy has advanced half a century in Brazil. By regulating the profession, the Brazilian Federal Council of Pharmacy (CFF) has enabled pharmacists to move from the position of handing out medicine cases to becoming health professionals working in diverse areas of health care. Currently, Brazilian pharmacists are legally supported to act clinically, providing services directly to patients, families and communities, in different specialties and population profiles, such as LGBTQIAPN+, indigenous and special needs people, including patients with hearing impairment and chronic conditions. Pharmaceutical prescription was regulated as a professional act that documents the best consultations selected by the pharmacist for each clinically assessed patient. During the pandemic, telehealth advanced in the country and in response to this new demand, CFF regulated the telepharmacy, which includes teleconsultation, teleinterconsultation, telemonitoring and teleconsulting. Another opportunity for advancement was the possibility for pharmacists to become vaccinators. The profession has also advanced in aesthetic health, trichology and ozone therapy. Technological, political, economic, environmental and social changes require the profession to constantly rethink its role in order to meet the health needs of the Brazilian population. Only with well-defined strategies and the unity of the country’s pharmaceutical leadership has it been possible to face the challenges posed by the change process and take on the opportunities. The session will include a brief explanation of the strategies and institutional projects that allowed the profession to advance in Brazil.
