Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project aims to study the conversion of one paper based process (that of prescribing and dispensing prescription medicines) into a secure electronic one, and from this draw valuable lessons that can be applied to other similar conversions. A secure electronic prescribing application needs to address many and varied issues, including scalability, user friendliness, security, and ease of administration. These multi-faceted problems often have mutually exclusive solutions, for example, high security usually means inconvenience to the user, which is in direct contradiction to ease of use. Therefore the final application is often a compromise of several competing factors, and it is this interplay of issues which, when better understood, can subsequently be applied to the building of secure electronic applications on other problems domains.
