Pharmaca Co-Launches New European ePI Portal for Trusted Medicines Information

Pharmaca Fennica (by Pharmaca Health Intelligence) is one of the founding organisations of a new European initiative, The Alliance for Medicines Information (AMI), bringing more than 30.000 electronic product information leaflets together in six languages at the ePI Portal.

On November 4^th, the ”ePI Portal proof of concept” was launched as a new European initiative to improve digital access to trusted and up-to-date medicines information.

What is the ePI Portal?

The ePI Portal is a proof of concept demonstrating how a shared European portal for electronic product information (ePI) for medicinal products could work.

The long-term ambition is to give patients and healthcare professionals across Europe easy digital access to validated, authority-approved medicinal product information in multiple languages.

The ePI Portal aims to provide:

a practical European solution for trusted electronic product information;
a more harmonised approach to ePI across Europe;
access to the latest approved medicinal product information;
a cost-effective way for pharmaceutical companies to disseminate electronic product information
a solution designed to integrate with national medicines compendia and the wider European digital health ecosystem.

A proof of concept with potential to scale

The ePI Portal aims to turn the ambitions of the new EU pharmaceutical legislation into practical experience and concrete learnings, supporting the European Commission and EMA in shaping the future framework for medicines information in Europe.

At this stage, the portal contains a limited number of electronic package leaflets and limited functionalities with the aim of demonstrating a concept rather than a full solution.

The ambition is to achieve comprehensive coverage of package leaflets for all products available in each of the six participating countries and subsequently invite organisations and compendia from other European countries to contribute.

The collaboration behind the ePI Portal: Alliance for Medicines Information

Pharmaca Fennica is a member of the Alliance for Medicines Information (AMI), the organisation behind the ePI Portal.

AMI brings together six established national medicines information organisations with decades of experience in providing trusted and regulator-approved information about medicines.

The participating service providers are Felleskatalogen in Norway, FASS in Sweden, Pharmaca Fennica in Finland, Rote Liste in Germany, medicines.ie in Ireland and Medicin.dk in Denmark.

To whom – target groups and what value is created?

Access to reliable medicines information is increasingly important in a digital environment where misinformation can spread rapidly.

Scientific and regulatory knowledge evolves continuously, and electronic product information provides an effective way to ensure that patients and healthcare professionals have access to the latest approved information about medicines.

By bringing established national medicines information providers together, AMI aims to support a trusted and more harmonised European approach to electronic product information.

Our vision

AMI’s vision is to become a trusted and harmonised source of electronic product information giving people across Europe easy access to accurate, validated and up-to-date medicines information, whenever and wherever they need it.

Through a trusted and harmonised ePI framework, AMI aims to support patients, healthcare professionals and citizens in making safe and informed decisions based on reliable information. Anytime. Anywhere.
