Product Overview
The Paperless Pharmacy module of Athento e-Health
is an intelligent tool which helps hospital pharmacies
get rid of the manual work associated with documents.
By using powerful semantic technologies and image
processing, Paperless Pharmacy can identify, classify
and store documents automatically. Drug inclusion
requests, pharmaceutical alerts, documents related to
outpatients and many other documents can be classi-
fied by Athento, without needing any employee inter-
vention.
This module can also detect information contained in
documents, and extract it automatically. One applica-
tion of this functionality could be the options designated
by the doctors in tables of combinations of medicines,
as well as extraction of patient data (national identity
numbers, names, etc.) contained in prescriptions or
other documents to facilitate recovery of the docu-
ments after.
In addition to the functionality of its capture functionali-
ties, Paperless Pharmacy offers traditional document
management functionality (control of versions, manag-
ing users, structuring the system).
Paperless Pharmacy is already in use in hospital phar-
macies such as the pharmacy of the Hospital Clínico
Virgen de la Victoria, in Málaga, Spain, which distrib-
utes 31,000 doses of pharmaceuticals each year.
