mPrescription is a Doctors’
prescription management
application in iPad
It’s a could computing initiative,
clients need not to maintain an
server/database
Synchronized with hospital store
for efficient drugs management
A pilot has been taken to Gynae
department of Dhaka Medical
College Hospital
mPrescription
Doctors can use hand-held devices like iPad for prescribing
Iphone/ipad applications
mPrescription
The system would be a
web database containing:
• Drugs Inventory
• Patient registration
• Drug issue management
Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) established in 1946, currently has 1700 beds and expansion of 700 beds expected soon (DMCH 2). Currently everything related to hospital management is done manually. Introduction of computerized system will increase efficiency and quality of health care services to be provided by the hospital. It is noted that the hospital is the largest in the country having number of departments. But considering importance and patient flow, Gynae & Obs OPD (Out Patient Department) has been selected for piloting. Daily patient turnover in Gynae/Obs OPD is 200-250.
To demonstrate a model of automated system to – Monitor Doctor’s prescriptionsEnsure optimum utilization of drugs available in storeDiagnose based on ICD9/10Contribute to total Hospital Drugs Inventory Management System track the rational use of drug in the OPD (Gynae and Obs)

doctor, he can continue prescribing in
the iPad and also consult the patient
• Rapid data entry:
Data can be entered with very few
taps, within on-screen keyboard
Iphone/ipad applications
mPrescription
• Longer Battery Life:

iPrescription Outcomes of the Proposed System:
Reduces manual work and work load
Efficient Drug Logistics management (ensures efficient use of stored drugs)
Forecasting Drug procurement Tracking of Disease Profile Patient History Tracking of drug issue against
each patient Ensures rational drug selection
(following Generic name) Stock balance available instantly Identify slow moving drugs
