About the Feature

This feature provides the ability to mark the drugs as dispensed against a drug order. In most scenarios this is done by the person dispensing the drugs - pharmacist(s) or doctor(s).

This feature additionally helps to provide clear segregation of stocks, so that the inventory can be managed well in OpenERP. This is achieved by mapping login location to shops. The quotation gets created in the pharmacy that is mapped to the location from where the drug is dispensed.

Where is it used?

This feature is used either by the clinician or the pharmacist to mark the drugs as dispensed after providing the drugs to the patients. There are scenarios where apart from the pharmacy, the drugs can be stocked at different locations within the hospital. In such cases, this feature provides a finer mechanism to mark only those drugs which have been dispensed from the current location of the clinician or pharmacist. A typical use-case would be if the physician dispenses the "physician's free sample" so that the cost of treatment can be lowered for the given patient. The physician can click on the "D" button which is mapped to a "discount shop" in OpenERP. The pharmacist then can dispense only those drugs which the physician has not given to the patient.
