eLEAFLET

To what extent is an electronic patient information leaflet equivalent to the paper version for providing information about the safe and effective use of medicines to healthcare professionals and patients? As part of a broader EU initiative, the feasibility of an electronic alternative to medication used in hospitals was investigated in collaboration with Efpia. In addition to feasibility, the process of introducing an electronic alternative was also tested in a pilot project to provide sufficient evidence before switching a wide range of products to electronic leaflets. In addition, an overview of the benefits for the supply chain, the local commercial organization, the customer and a roadmap for future implementation was developed.
