In short: Asclepius, a comprehensive, web-based platform
tailored to streamline prescription management processes within
a medical office. Utilizing JavaScript, Express, and MongoDB,
this system will offer:
User Management: Secure registration, authentication, and rolebased access controls for various office roles such as doctors,
nurses, pharmacists, and administrators.
Patient Data Management: A dynamic repository for patient
profiles encompassing vital statistics, medical history, and
allergies, with functionalities for CRUD operations. (Create,
Rename, Update, Delete)
Doctor Profiles: Comprehensive database storing doctors'
professional details, including their specialties, NPI, DEA,
contact data, and more.
Prescription Portal: A user-friendly interface enabling
providers to:
Auto-fetch patient details based on scheduled visits.
Efficiently search and select medications from a vast database.
Define specifics such as dosage, administration route,
frequency, and any supplementary notes.
System-assisted generation of standardized prescription
instructions.
Implement stringent security checks for controlled substances,
necessitating password validation.
Automatic appending of prescriber and location data to
prescriptions.
Drug Information Management: An exhaustive database detailing
drug specifics, including its type, potential side effects, and
whether it's a controlled substance.
Digital Transmission: Built-in mechanisms to electronically
dispatch prescriptions to chosen pharmacies, while also
supporting traditional methods like printing and faxing.
