O3 Medication Dispensing
O3 Medication Dispensing
Summary of the Problem
- Implementers are looking for a simple tool to track medication dispensed, within OpenMRS.
- Larger sites tend to handle dispensing by integrating OpenMRS with dedicated external supply chain/ERP systems, such as Odoo - inventory is a core competency for those systems. But we need a solution for smaller sites where you don't want to deal with implementing a whole other system - all you want is help with tracking what needs to be dispensed vs what has already been dispensed.
- The primary target users for this functionality are implementations and facilities that have an on-site pharmacy and which don't charge the patient/customer for the services, who want to dispense medications based on orders within the same OpenMRS instance. Billing and inventory are out of scope.
