PrescriptionPad.in January 22, 2007
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Healthcare, Technology , trackbackPrescriptionPad is an indigenous product aimed at facilitating prescription writing. It’s core content appears to be Indian pharmacopoeia list and drug interaction information, but it has some peripheral, outpatient EMR type functionality too - report generation, and patient index, appointment scheduling, educational handouts etc.
My opinion about the software is superficial, since I haven’t used it. They have a word document and slideshowthat show some screenshots of the product functionality. It’s interesting to see an outpatient EMR built from a prescription-writing angle. As expected, they have announcement on homepage about a “Full fledged Hospital Management System” under construction.
The real issue in any pharmacy-related system is it’s knowledge-maintenance, of course (at least in the US). Maybe it is much less of a concern in Indian market. It’s interesting to see their pricing model: basic system config costs 4000Rs. (~100$). I am curious as to what the SSA (Software Support Agreement) or similar costs are.
