Abstract - An Online Medical Prescription Management
efficient platform for healthcare providers, doctors and patients to manage, track, and store medical prescriptions electronically. By digitizing the prescription process, the system aims to improve patient safety, accessibility, and satisfaction while reducing the risk of errors associated with manual processes.
System is a platform that enables healthcare providers to manage, track and store medical prescriptions electronically. This system streamlines the prescription process by eliminating manual paper-based methods and enables secure and efficient management of patient prescriptions. The platform is accessible from any device with an internet connection and provides real-time updates, secure data storage, and electronic prescription renewals. The system improves patient safety by reducing the risk of errors associated with manual prescription processes and improves the overall efficiency of the healthcare system by facilitating communication between healthcare providers and pharmacies.
The project aims to address the limitations of the existing manual paper-based system for managing medical prescriptions and streamline the prescription process, making it more efficient and effective for both healthcare providers and patients. The system will provide a secure and accessible web-based platform for healthcare providers to manage and track patient prescriptions, allowing for realtime updates and secure data storage.
Key Words: Healthcare, digital prescription, online medical prescription management, digital prescription management, electronic prescription.
1.2 Problem Statement The current manual paper-based system for managing medical prescriptions is outdated, error-prone and inefficient. Traditional paper-based prescription management system often leads to delay, inaccuracies, and difficulty in accessing and updating information, which can lead to serious health consequences for patients. Patients might lose their physical prescriptions, or the prescription papers might get damaged, resulting in the loss of the patient's previous prescription records. Therefore, there is a need for a more efficient and convenient way to manage medical prescriptions of patients.
1.INTRODUCTION The healthcare industry has undergone a significant evolution over the past few years, with the increasing usage of digital technologies. The use of electronic medical records and remote medication has revolutionized the way healthcare services are delivered, making it more efficient and accessible. However, the management of medical prescriptions still largely relies on paper-based systems, which are prone to errors and can result in serious consequences for patients.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
To address this issue, we propose the development of an "Online Medical Prescription Management System" – a webbased application that enables healthcare providers to manage, track, and store medical prescriptions electronically. This system streamlines the prescription process, eliminates manual paper-based methods, and enables secure and efficient management of patient prescriptions. The application is accessible from any device with an internet connection and provides real-time updates, secure data storage, and electronic prescription renewals.
According to Abeysinghe, Sachini. (2021), developing a prescription management system is very valuable and important product for future medical field. Because since long period of time, lot of people has done researches on prescription management. But there isn’t proper solution for the illegible hand writing and unclear handwritten prescriptions. The author proposed a prescription management system that requires patients to download a mobile application and create an account, while doctors need to register on the system's website. Once registered, doctors can upload patient details and generate unique prescriptions that are saved in the database with a QR code for patients to scan and
1.1 Objectives The objective of the "Online Medical Prescription Management System" project is to create a modern and
