Derby and Derbyshire ICB uses OptimiseRx to facilitate best practice in community care settings

After many years of successfully using OptimiseRx across primary care, Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) took part in a pioneering pilot that saw the solution extended into the community Trust services.

OptimiseRx was intuitive and easy to use. Prescribers found the messages generally supportive and welcomed the recommendations and advice from the messages, while retaining complete autonomy to accept or decline the suggestion, depending on the individual patient circumstances.

Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust (DCHS) has approximately 300 non-medical independent prescribers (NMPs) working across their community services, including nurses, Allied Health Professionals and Pharmacists.

When NMP service representatives within the Trust requested additional medicines optimisation support software to help them as prescribers, similar to that available to general practice prescribers, FDB worked alongside the Derby and Derbyshire ICB pharmacy team as well as representatives from DCHS to pilot OptimiseRx within these extended care settings for the benefit of these prescribers and their patients.
