Implemen9ng new technologies by nurses is, above all,
increasing the availability of health care, improving
healthcare outcomes, and reducing
the costs of health care
Telenursing
One of important areas in nursing is efficient monitoring of safety of the use of medicines. Worldwide increases in number of counterfeit medicines, par9cularly oncological and psychiatric drugs, unfortunately include also legal sale channels.

ICN ac9vely par9cipates in ac9on against counterfeited drugs, also supports ac9vi9es of nurses in this maFer. This danger has been recognized also by the European Union (Direc9ve 2011/83/EC), in the community code rela9ng to medicinal products for human use – in regards to the preven9on of the entry of falsified medicinal products into legal distribu9on chain.
Telenursing
Only joint ac.on of the profession may result in seTng the best prac9ce standards and a monitoring of repor9ng the phenomenon by the representa9ves of the medical professions and pa9ents themselves. Therefore, global discussion on the par9cipa9on of nurses and their obliga9on of guaranteeing the safety of the use of medicines appears indispensable.
Telenursing
The aim of the presenta9on is to present possibili9es to use telenursing in terms of rapid and effec9ve communica9on with pa9ents in the communica9on of informa9on on legal sources of the purchase and safety of drugs.

England: annually, the amount of drugs prescribed by 54 000 Bri9sh nurses and midwives reaches 12.8 million packages, -‐ about 11 prescrip.ons per week hFp://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/Prescrip9onServices/923.aspx LaFer S., Blenkinsopp A.: Non-‐medical prescribing: current and future contribu9on of pharmacists and nurses, Interna9onal Journal of Pharmacy Prac9ce, 2011, 19, 381-‐382.

They relate mainly to primary health care (40.8 %). First of all, there are drugs ordained an ad hoc basis in the states of infec9on. Prescribed also drugs which are chronically for the treatment of asthma , diabetes, and COPD LaFer S., Blenkinsopp A.: Non-‐medical prescribing: current and future contribu9on of pharmacists and nurses, Interna9onal Journal of Pharmacy Prac9ce, 2011, 19, 381-‐382.
Analysis of the need for effec9ve coopera9on in the field of detec9on of counterfei9ng medicines, and raising awareness and preven9on of this phenomenon in Europe, and in the world is a very important task in the area of public health. This is par9cularly important because of the increasing e-‐commerce and number of dispatch centers, and the increasingly aggressive forms of adver9sing in this area.
Telenursing
In Poland, we propose the inclusion in the electronic records of a pa.ent to record informa.on the side effects of administered drugs. Also, the pa9ent’s record should include the repor9ng person, and it should be send to the appropriate ins9tu9ons in the country. A systema9c analysis of such data allows the nurse , especially in primary care to capture and evaluate the effec9veness of drugs and revile which drags are not holding standards.
Telenursing
The purpose of these ac.vies is: -‐ to increase pa,ent awareness about the dangers
associated whith the use of drags and dietary suplements of unknown origin,
-‐ to outline a metodd of verifying the legality of buyig drags on the Internet, -‐ to outline presenta9ons prepared by the
Pharmaceu9cal Inspector and the WHO (as part of the warning against counterfeit drags)

Conclusion: Assessment of behaviour, level of awareness, and risks for pa9ents with regard to the counterfei9ng of medicinal products is also a very important source of knowledge to shape future policies of healthcare
Why Telenursing ?
