Towards Secure Off-Label Drug Prescribing and Improved Drug Supply
Abstract
Worldwide, among healthcare professionals an uncertainty as to what medical uses exactly fall under the theme of off-label-use is noticeable. The lack of a common definition complicates the comparison of methods of resolutions in different countries. A current ambiguity is shown to cause false patient education and invalid informed consent, hence leading to liability concerns. Due to several legal restrictions in Western countries, healthcare professionals are facing more legal actions (lawsuits) than their colleagues in developing countries. The health systems in the developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, are facing, in addition, severe drug supply issues. This chapter analyzes the issues from the viewpoint of the information and communication technology and proposes solution approaches.
