Abstract/Summary

The Electronic Medical Prescription System (EMPS) was created with a purpose to avoid the manual prescription system observed today as well as to aid doctors when prescribing drugs to patients. This system has four user types namely: the administrator, doctors, pharmacists, and patients. Each user has a different access level to the features of the EMPS. The system is web-based which means that any registered user may access it through the internet be it through a computer or through an internet capable mobile phone. Making the system mobile allows the user to access medical records and medical prescriptions anytime, anywhere.

The MIMS handbook was used as a reference to all the drug information used in the EMPS. The information regarding the drug's contents and drug interactions were taken from the MIMS handbook. These information were used to build a program that will check whether the drugs that were prescribed by the doctor to the patient have interactions with each other, or have interactions with the drugs that the patient is currently taking. The program was designed in order to reduce incidences when doctors may prescribe drugs that have interactions with one another.

PHP and MySQL were the core programming languages used in implementing the system. MySQL was used as the database management system handler of the program. This was used to house all the records, information, and prescription that were processed in the system. PHP was the interface language used to connect to the database, which includes the submission and retrieval of information from the database.
