Ajit Malhi, AAH Pharmaceuticals head of marketing says there also needs training
Hemant asks where the pharmacy vision is and where does IT fit into this
It seems the debate is around using the data on a wider scale. Hemant asks what is the data's influence on commissioning
Julie Evason, Health Diagnostics managing director says you need to know what information to take out of a PMR system
Hemant says that rather than LPCs, it should be NHS who decide what to do with the data
This is a hot debate. PNAs - a good or bad thing. Should there be individual patient health interviention?
Ajit Malhi, AAH Pharmaceuticals head of marketing believes it is about the patient experience from the whole pharmacy team
Joseph Bush says that, while pharmacy is saving the NHS money and doing a very good job, the data about what they can do is not out there
Jonathan Mason says the problem is applying the analytics to the data
Mike Hewitson, Bearminster Pharmacy contractor says that any profession that doesn't move forward isn't a profession
Jonathan Mason that says while we have data about numbers of prescriptions, MURs etc, we have no data on Quality
Ajit Malhi, AAH Pharmaceuticals head of marketing says we need to move towards QoF but there is a still a lot to do
Roshni Simmonds, Rowlands pharmacist says you need to have a straightforward way of recording information. Nick Hunter agrees. he adds that we don't add the value added part very well.
Hemant says we need revolution not evolution to reach a point where we can have good professional conversations with other healthcare providers on quality
And so the debate comes to an end. Thanks for watching and taking part

What pharmacists do needs to be recorded in the patient record, not in a parallel pharmaceutical ghetto. #cdsenateby drarcox via twitter 7/6/2012 2:02:12 PM
