Deliverable 7.2.2 contains examples of ICT-supported protocols for prescribing and dispensing of medicines affecting driving performance, and for informing patients who use other psychoactive substances than medicines. In order to develop these professional guidelines, a literature search (Chapter 2) was conducted. As few prescribing and dispensing guidelines were found in the medical and pharmaceutical literature, a questionnaire survey among National Associations of Physicians and Pharmacists (in Europe) was carried out (Chapter 3.2). Additionally, input from other DRUID deliverables (D-7.2.1 and D-7.4.1) containing information related with prescribing and dispensing guidelines for selecting driving impairing medicines in patients who are advised to use psychotropic medicines was included (Chapter 3.1). Patients taking other psychotropic substances than medicines are another risk group. Driving under the influence of some illicit drugs is a frequent cause of road accidents. It is important to provide information to this specific group, which is presented in Chapter 4. Considering that General Practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists in most European countries make use of computer software in their daily practice, including information about medicines that influence driving ability is a valuable way of giving advice to the health care provider for counselling his/her patients. The way of applying practice guidelines and protocols in clinical decision support systems that GPs and pharmacists can use daily is shown in Chapter 5. Examples of ICT tools that were developed within DRUID and were adapted and used in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain to train GPs and pharmacists are presented in Chapter 6. Finally, Chapter 7 includes a list of recommendations for future development of prescribing and dispensing guidelines.
