Treatment repeated, or missed

Without the last prescription, the next one is a guess.

A prescription being prepared

What happens today

Tests are re-ordered because no one can see yesterday's result. Medicines are re-prescribed because no one can see what was dispensed. Interactions and allergies stay invisible until they present as harm.

What it costs

Scarce drugs and reagents are spent twice, and avoidable reactions get through.

What replaces it, step by step

On the platform

Prescribing runs interaction, allergy and duplicate checks against the patient's active medicines, and dispensing writes back to the same record.

01

Prescribe from the active medicine list

The prescriber sees what the patient is already taking, when it was dispensed and by whom.

02

Run the safety checks

Interaction, allergy and duplicate-therapy checks run against that list before the prescription can be issued.

03

Dispense against the prescription

The pharmacy fills the electronic prescription (no transcription, no guessing at handwriting) and records the batch actually given out.

04

Write it back to the record

The dispense event closes the loop on the same patient record, so the next clinician sees what was received, not what was intended.
