Prescription Management

Definition​

Prescription management is a crucial component of our system, involving several steps:

  1. Create New Medication Knowledge: This provides foundational information about various medications.
  2. Batch Creation of New Medications: This step involves adding information about medications available at the clinic, including quantity, batch number, and expiration date.
  3. Create a Prescription: This functionality, available on the encounter page, allows practitioners to generate prescriptions.
  4. Confirm or Cancel Prescriptions: This can be done on the prescriptions page.
