4. 1>Why Prescription Module is getting replaced with Dispensation Module
We are replacing the Prescription module with the new “Dispensation” module for following reasons:
● The fields that were part of the current Prescription module was not always relevant
● No linkage to when Drug Refills were due for patients
● No option to Print and Copy Products from previous prescriptions
● No differentiation between when the drugs were prescribed, when the drugs were provided and when
the dosage starts
● No option to return the drugs issued to patients
● No Linkage between Drugs Prescribed to Adherence
This module will be available for all patients in the following stages:
● On Treatment
● Outcome Assigned
