How are prescriptions routed from doctor to pharmacy?

Prescriptions appear in the pharmacy queue within 3 seconds of the doctor saving them in the HMS EMR.

Are drug allergy alerts shown before dispensing?

Yes. Documented allergies are checked before every dispense. The pharmacist cannot proceed without acknowledging the alert.

From EMR to Pharmacy

The prescription travels faster than the patient.

A doctor saves a prescription in ZenoHosp HMS. Within 3 seconds, it appears in the pharmacy's dispensing queue — complete with drug name, dose, frequency, duration, and any notes. The pharmacist sees the queue ordered by urgency: IPD patients first, then OPD.

Drug Safety Checks

Drug allergy alerts before any dispense — not after.

ZenoHosp checks the patient's documented allergies against every drug in the prescription before the pharmacist confirms a dispense. Potential interactions are flagged. The pharmacist can override with a documented reason — but they cannot miss the alert.

Drug-drug interaction alerts for high-risk combinations
Override with documented clinical reason — always logged

Dispense & Billing

Every dispense recorded. Every charge posted. Automatically.

When a pharmacist confirms a dispense, two things happen simultaneously: the stock is deducted from inventory and the charge posts to the patient's bill. No manual billing entry. No stock discrepancy at month-end.
