DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB BASED PHARMACEUTICAL SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF H-MEDIX PHARMACEUTICAL STORES)

Abstract

Web based Pharmacy management system is an online management system that is designed to improve accuracy and to enhance safety and efficiency in the pharmaceutical store, It is a computer based system which helps the Pharmacist to improve inventory management, cost, medical safety. It also involves manual entry upon arrival of new batches of drugs and upon drug movement out of the pharmacy for a certain period, e.g. every month, the pharmacist may want to generate report for the movement of drugs in and out of the pharmacy, getting information about the drugs e.g. expiry date, date purchased, number of drug type left, location of a drug in the pharmacy. This project work will prompt the pharmacist about drugs that are close to expiry, preventing those drugs from being sold, preventing congestion in the pharmacy and also providing solution to the earlier stated problems. Web based Pharmacy management system would be designed to help make the rigorous activities carried out in a pharmacy much easier by providing the statistics of drugs in stock, monitoring drug movement in the pharmacy and ensuring effective policing of the activities in the pharmacy.
