Drug prescription data from Italy's National Health Service (NHS) offers valuable insights for epidemiological studies and drug safety surveillance. The VIDEOFAR project demonstrates its utility for understanding healthcare patterns and evaluating pharmaceutical interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Growing interest in utilizing drug prescription data for epidemiological research in Italy.
  • The Italian National Health Service (NHS) covers nearly all drug prescriptions for its citizens.
  • Technological advancements are crucial for comprehensive drug prescription data collection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the epidemiological applications of drug prescription data.
  • To evaluate the potential for using this data in assessing General Practitioners' (GPs) activities.
  • To assess drug prescription data as a tool for Post-Marketing Drug Surveillance.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of drug prescription data from the Latium Region.
  • Descriptive epidemiological study design.
