Pharmacist

The Pharmacist receives prescriptions from doctors and dispenses medication to patients. In LAMISPlus, prescriptions flow directly from the doctor's consultation screen to the pharmacist's dispensing queue. There is no paper prescription that can be lost, altered, or misread.

What they see when they log in​

The Pharmacist sees a pending prescriptions queue. Every prescription written by a doctor that has not yet been dispensed appears here, showing the patient's name, the prescribed drug, dose, frequency, duration, and the prescribing doctor.

What they can do​

Dispensing medication The Pharmacist reviews each prescription, confirms drug availability, and records the dispensing:

  • Drug dispensed and quantity
  • Batch number
  • Dispensing date
  • Any substitutions made (e.g., generic equivalent)

Once dispensed, the prescription is marked as complete and the record is stored permanently in the patient's visit history.

Patient medication history The Pharmacist can view a patient's current and previous medication orders. This is useful for identifying potential interactions with new prescriptions or confirming what the patient was last given.

Prescription queue management The Pharmacist can filter the queue by date, drug type, or status, making it easier to manage a high-volume pharmacy service during peak clinic hours.

What they cannot access​

Pharmacists see prescriptions and medication history only. Consultation notes, diagnoses, lab orders and results, triage data, and billing records are not part of their access. Modifying a prescription is also outside this role and must be done by the doctor who wrote it.

How the workflow connects​

The moment a doctor saves a prescription in the consultation room, it appears in the pharmacist's queue. The patient does not need to carry a paper slip to the pharmacy. The record is already there when they arrive. The pharmacist dispenses and the record is complete. No separate data entry, no manual matching of paper records.

A note on prescription integrity​

The Pharmacist can see and dispense what the doctor prescribed. They cannot modify the drug, dose, or frequency in the system. If there is a concern about a prescription, the pharmacist contacts the doctor directly. The prescription in the system reflects the doctor's clinical decision and must be changed by the prescriber.
