PHARMIS

PHARMIS is a complete pharmacy information system covering inpatient dispensing, outpatient pharmacy, and retail pharmacy workflows. It receives electronic prescriptions directly from OPES EMR with drug-interaction and allergy alerts already checked, and guides the pharmacist through dispensing, counselling, and patient education.

The stock management module tracks every medicine from receipt to dispensing with batch and expiry date control, automated reorder alerts, and supplier management. PHARMIS integrates with RCMIS for automated billing of every item dispensed.

Who is PHARMIS for?

  • Hospital inpatient and outpatient pharmacies
  • Standalone retail pharmacies and dispensaries
  • Community health centre drug stores
  • Government essential medicines stores
  • NGO programme pharmacies (ARV, TB, malaria)

Problems PHARMIS solves

1

Medication errors from handwritten prescriptions — Electronic prescriptions from OPES EMR arrive pre-typed with drug, dose, frequency, and route.

2

Drug stockouts and expiry wastage — Automated reorder alerts and FEFO stock rotation prevent stockouts and expired medicine wastage.

3

Pharmacist unaware of patient allergies — Allergy and interaction alerts from the patient's OPESCare record are visible at the dispensing screen.

4

No audit trail on controlled substances — Every controlled substance dispensing is logged with pharmacist ID, quantity, and patient details.
