CHESSMEN – WP7 Meeting: BfArM Hosts a Two-Day Meeting in Bonn On 4 and 5 November 2024, BfArM welcomed CHESSMEN WP7 partners in Bonn, Germany, for a two-day hybrid meeting. The event aimed to advance WP7’s objectives while reviewing the overall progress of the CHESSMEN Joint Action. Led by BfArM, WP7 focuses on developing a European IT Concept Model to monitor and manage medicine shortages. This model integrates existing tools and best practices from EU Member States, aiming to enhance data interoperability between systems and ensuring the easy and direct availability of information on supply shortages. The meeting featured presentations from several partners, including BfArM, AEMPS, JAZMP, BASG, FIMEA, INFARMED, I.P., and EMA. Key Highlights of the discussion: 💊 A draft framework for a concept platform to monitor and manage medicine shortages, emphasizing a unified approach that leverages Member State practices. 📑 Updates on the progress of deliverables from WP2, WP5, WP6, WP7, and WP8. 📊 Required data for shortage management and roundtable discussion on the definition of data elements. 💬 Presentations on Austria’s Pharos system and updates on the European 🔎 Shortages Monitoring Platform (ESMP), including ongoing developments and future compatibility. #chessmen
About us
Short supply of medicines is an important issue in public health and medical care delivery at national and international levels. Monitoring and preventing medicines shortages is a key factor in sustaining the long-term and timely patients access protection in Europe. The CHESSMEN Joint Action (JA) is led by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) and benefits from the active participation of a wide consortium involving 27 organisations (competent authorities and other professional stakeholders) in representation of 22 EU Members States (MSs). Given the above, CHESSMEN JA aims at supporting the EU MSs in implementing proper structures and measures to tackle the issue of medicine shortages. This will be done, not only by strengthening the existing coordination network, but also through capitalising and building on existing knowledge, such as the development of model initiatives/practices based on the European Commission studies and the existing Good Practices already in place in EUMSs. Taking into due consideration the outcomes of the Future-proofing pharmaceutical legislation - Study on medicine shortages: final report and the structured dialogue on security of medicines supply, the consortium will build a system to collect operative models for MSs. These models could be applied in setting up MSs to connect with the EMA SPOC Network to give continuity to data gathering and the implementation of measures against shortages in compliance with harmonised procedures and standards.
