处方信息系统（PIS）为药物流行病学和药物警戒研究提供了基础设施，因其独特的组合特点而受到越来越多的关注。与世界上提供全国人口覆盖和记录联系的几个数据库相比，1-3 PIS涵盖了在社区范围内开具、分发和报销的所有国民保健服务处方，覆盖了苏格兰530万居民的总人口。PIS提供了1993年以来报销药物的摘要信息，并且还提供了自2009年以来的个人处方和配药数据，该数据纳入了苏格兰NHS特有的唯一号码，称为社区卫生指数（CHI）号码（PIS的演变过程见补充图1，可作为补充数据在IJE在线获得）。此外，这个数字的存在允许PIS数据与其他健康记录数据的链接，从而描述患者在医疗保健系统中的路径。该数据集满足了对人口水平纵向数据的需求，这些数据通过常规临床系统获取，以了解药物使用和健康结果的年表，补充了临床试验和药物监测产生的证据
The Prescribing Information System (PIS) provides an infrastructure for pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacovigilance research, attracting growing attention due to its unique combination of characteristics. Compared with several databases worldwide offering national population coverage and record linkage, 1–3 PIS covers all National Health Service (NHS) prescriptions prescribed, dispensed and reimbursed within the community setting, covering in Scotland a total population of 5.3 million residents.PIS provides summary information on reimbursed medicines from 1993, and it also gives access to individual prescribing and dispensing data since 2009 with the incorporation in the system of a unique number, specific to NHS Scotland, called the Community Health Index (CHI) number (the PIS evolution process is shown in Supplementary Figure 1, available as Supplementary data at IJE online). Moreover, the presence of this number allows the linkage of PIS data to other health records data, thus describing a patient’s pathway through the healthcare system. This dataset addresses the demand for longitudinal data at a population level, captured through routine clinical systems required to understand the chronology of drug use and health outcomes, complementing the evidence generated through clinical trials and drug surveillance
