Transfer of Care to Pharmacy
Key objectives1. To create a fully Integrated system which
enables hospitals to transfer relevant clinical information between care settings and improve medicines optimisation.
2. To enhance communications between care settings thus delivering timely, positive and measurable patient outcomes and experiences.
Transfer of Care to Pharmacy
Key objectives3. Link with with Cheshire & Merseyside Sustainability and Transformation
Plan (STP) objectives. Reducing emergency bed days and length of stay*.Reducing hospital re-admissions*. Early identification and intervention. Delivery of care in alternative settings. Optimise direct patient care through forging links with
community pharmacy.Improve the health of the C&M population through
medicines optimisation.Reduced drug waste and impact on primary care
medicines spend*. Improved patient satisfaction*
✴ These are the project objectives that would be measured as part of the academic evaluation.
Transfer of Care to Pharmacy
Project outlineThe project aims will establish the following patient eTCP pathways
• Hospital admission notification to community pharmacies.
• Hospital admission notification to GP practices.• Hospital discharge notification to community
pharmacies. • Hospital discharge information to community
pharmacies.• Anonymised monitoring of messages via a secure
‘hub’
Transfer of Care to Pharmacy
✦ Hospital pharmacy needs to deliver more services to increase patient safety.
✦ A transfer of care to pharmacy pathway can deliver the desired outcome.
✦ Seamless delivery requires a more efficient delivery platform
✦ electronic Transfer of Care to Pharmacy (eTCP) will provide the efficiency
✦ eTCP will deliver optimal use of medicines, technology and workforce.
✦ eTCP will create a fully automated transfer of admission and discharge information to encourage collaboration between secondary and primary care and remove unnecessary variation in services.
✦ This will deliver value for money for the taxpayer and good clinical outcomes for all patients seven days a week.

benefits of eTCP - admission & discharge notifications
PharmacySafer for pts. & reduces waste• Access to
timely information
• Better use of clinical skills
• Less medicines dispensed and wasted
GP PracticeBetter pt. safety & reduces waste• Targets
“revolving door” pts.
• Identifies pt’s. meds adherence issues
• Less medicines wasted
NHS/CCG/
Social Care
GPs / Commissioners would see a reduction in hospital admissions due to an improvement in medicines adherence. Community pharmacists have the opportunity to be an integral part of a patient pathway which allows them to utilise their inherent skills, and to build professional relationships with patients and fellow health professionals.
Key benefits to eTCP partner come from the benefits to their patients
More productivity• Fewer re-
admissions• Better meds
optimisation• Less med
waste• Better
management of resources

Hospital Trust system selection.• We are supporting each hospital Trust to choose their
preferred system supplier which meets our joint project objectives based on system compatibilities including any third party IT solutions
Partnership arrangements. The following organisations have agreed to support NHS
England / PLPN to deliver elements of eTCP. These will be managed through Service Level Agreements.
• The NHS Innovation Agency / Academic Health Sciences Network (AHSN North West Coast).
• Centre for Post Graduate Pharmacy Education (CPPE).
Governance arrangements
Electronic Transfer of Care to Pharmacy (eTCP)Governance arrangements
• Governance for the complete project falls under NHS England (Cheshire and Merseyside) through pharmacy Local Professional Network (Merseyside) - PLPN
• NHS England / PLPN Merseyside through a SLA with IA (Innovation Agency / AHSN) will deliver eTCP in 12 C&M Trusts
• Each site will establish a footprint steering group and use a common reporting framework and will be accountable to the PLPN steering group
• All eTCP meetings with project partners fall under the same governance arrangements
Electronic Transfer of Care to Pharmacy (eTCP)
System provider selection • Due to the unique nature of this project there are
only two system providers that can currently deliver this service specification.
• The two are Webstar and Pinnacle Health.• Each system provider shall enter into a SLA with
the IA with a commitment to meet the outline service as described in this proposal within an agreed financial envelope.
