Medication assistance: the development of drug surveillance and drug information in The Netherlands

CW van Gruting and JJ de Gier

OBJECTIVE: To describe the development of drug surveillance and drug information in The Netherlands. DATA SYNTHESIS: Historically, the professions of medicine and pharmacy have existed separately with little contact between them. Since the 1960s, this situation has changed in The Netherlands. Both professions are cooperating to an ever-increasing degree, primarily in the areas of computerized drug surveillance and individualized patient drug information, resulting in greater patient benefit. CONCLUSIONS: Exchange of knowledge between physicians and pharmacists, greater cooperation among professionals, use of computerized patient medical records, and involvement of the patient in his own healthcare will have a positive influence on the development of drug assistance in the future.
