DIGITAL PRESCRIPTION SOFTWARE FOR REDUCING MANUAL ERRORS AND IMPROVING PHARMACY COORDINATION IN HOSPITALS

Abstract

Digital prescription software reduces manual medication errors and improves coordination between doctors, nurses, and hospital pharmacies. The system enables clinicians to create clear electronic prescriptions with accurate drug names, dosages, routes, frequencies, and treatment durations. Automated checks can identify allergies, duplicate medicines, unsafe doses, and possible drug interactions before prescriptions are approved. Pharmacists can receive prescriptions instantly, verify medicine availability, update dispensing status, and communicate with clinical teams when clarification is required. Integration with electronic medical records supports access to patient history and current treatment information. Digital audit trails improve accountability, while encryption and role-based access protect sensitive data. Overall, the software can reduce handwritingrelated errors, accelerate medicine dispensing, improve prescription tracking, and support safer, more coordinated hospital pharmacy operations.
