When it comes to caring for people with hemophilia, two factors are of central importance: guaranteed availability of the required products and ensuring drug safety.
On September 1, 2020, the German act for more safety in the supply of medicines (GSAV) came into force. It brought changes not only to the care of hemophilia patients: pharmacies must now also transmit selected information in writing to the treating physician when dispensing blood preparations, sera from human blood, preparations made from other substances of human origin, and medicinal products.
smart medication ScanDoc was developed to support pharmacies and physicians in meeting these legal requirements and to optimize the necessary processes.
The newly developed software solution smart medication ScanDoc enables pharmacies to carry out the documentation required by the German Pharmacy Operating Regulations (Section 17 ApBetrO) easily and to a high standard, to report it to the prescribing physician or hemophilia treatment center, and to make it available to patients in their electronic diary (e.g. smart medication eDiary).
What pharmacists and hemophilia treatment centers need to know:
(Once one of the buttons has focus, the arrow keys page through as well.)
At the hemophilia treatment center / physician’s office, the patient receives a prescription, which they fill at the pharmacy. The pharmacy is required to report the dispensing of the previously documented medicinal product to the center / prescribing physician. The easiest way to transmit the legally required data is smart medication ScanDoc. In addition to the product and the batch number, it also records pseudonymized patient data (ScanDoc data).
All of this information must be documented at the center / physician’s office and retained for up to 30 years (Section 22 (4) ApBetrO). It ensures traceability and is also used for the mandatory registry report submitted by the center / physician to the German Hemophilia Registry (DHR).
Document reportable data quickly and easily using the software and the scanner provided, and transmit it automatically to the center
Support for patient retention: digital features for providing order and delivery status

Security on all sides
Pharmacies and physicians with access to smart medication ScanDoc benefit from highly optimized workflows. With a scanner for pharmacies – provided by smart medication – and the matching software at the centers, the recording and documentation processes can be simplified and automated. The effort is reduced to a minimum for everyone involved.

smart medication supplies the scanner, sets up the software, and trains the pharmacy staff in using the new application. At the pharmacy, the scanner reads the data matrix code to capture the PZN (German pharmaceutical registration number), batch, and expiration date of the blood product, and transmits all relevant information immediately and with absolute security directly to the center. This transfer takes place in a standardized form that leaves the data optimally prepared for further processing. If the center does not yet use the system, a fax can be sent directly from smart medication ScanDoc. ScanDoc guarantees maximum IT security along with simple and fast operation.
The software is already in use in many pharmacies specializing in hemophilia products. An up-to-date list of pharmacies is available here: list of participating pharmacies (in German), opens in a new tab.
