Ministerul Sanatatii promite preturi reduse la medicamente de la 20% pana la 40% incepand cu 1 ianuarie 2011. Producatorii care vor opera cu alte preturi decat cele din nomeclatorul de stat al medicamentelor vor raspunde penal.

Reducerea pretului va fi posibila abia dupa ce toti producatorii de medicamente, autohtoni si straini, vor depune declaratiile privind preturile la preparate pentru anul viitor la Serviciul de avizare si inregistrare, care functioneaza din 1 septembrie curent. Seful acestui Serviciu, Serghei Cebotari, a spus ca pana in prezent dosare au depus doar 12 producatori din peste 80.

Cebotari a explicat ca fara declaratia respectiva, agentii economici nu vor putea primi autorizatie de importa a medicamentelor.

Seful Serviciului de avizare a mai spus ca la stabilirea pretului la medicamente se va lua in calcul media costurilor acestui produs in 5 tari din UE si alte 3 din CSI.

Adaosurile de depozitare de 15% si cel al farmaciei de 25% vor ramane, a precizat pim-vicedirectorul Agentiei Medicamentului, Maria Cojocaru.

Potrivit functionarei, in perioada iunie-septembrie a fost inregistrata o diminuare de circa 3% la preturile la medicamente.

In nomenclatorul de stat sunt incluse peste 6000 de produse farmaceutice.

HealthLeaders Media: Patient Portals - The New Platform for Health Communications

Healthcare Workforce Shortages

Investment in health IT workforce is an emerging challenge not only by developed, but by developing countries as well.

"The U.S. health care industry is facing two emerging workforce challenges as it prepares to meet demands both from more patients for more care, and from
consumers and regulators for cost, quality and other reforms. The first is the widely documented shortage of caregivers (see “U.S. Health Care Workforce
Shortages: Caregivers”). The other is a growing shortage of health information technology (HIT) workers that is becoming significant as the industry aims to
expand use of electronic health records (EHR), health information exchanges (HIE) and other HIT tools. Evidence of an HIT workforce shortage is coming from at least two sources..."

Medical News: OMG, Texting No Help 4 Adherence 2 The Pill - in OB/Gyn, General OB/GYN from MedPage Today

Sending text messages to remind women to take their oral contraceptive pills doesn't seem to work, according to researchers...
... Most of the women getting text-message reminders said they would at least consider continuing to use the system (86%) and would even be willing to pay a monthly fee for it (57%).

Every patient in both groups rated remembering to take the pill as highly important (median 10 on a scale in which 10 was "the most important thing she can do to prevent pregnancy").
