 ETP R1 and R2
ETP Release 1 is of technical importance only, in that it establishes and tests the messaging infrastructure. Release 2 is the important business change, where Nomination takes over from existing script collection. ETP R2 is wholly dependent on GP and Pharmacy systems using and exchanging drug info using a coomon dictionary. dm+d, as it is known, is still not in a position to support that exchange so don't hold your breath for R2, despite the political imperative to implement by the end of next year.
