Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the oeHealth Pharmacy and Point of Sale module.
Can prescriptions from any physician in the system be routed to the pharmacy?
Yes. Any prescription created within the oeHealth system by an authorized physician is automatically added to the pharmacy dispensing queue. Pharmacists can view, prioritize, and fulfill prescriptions from all departments and clinics connected to the same instance.
Does the POS support barcode scanning for medicines?
Yes. The pharmacy POS interface supports barcode and QR code scanning for product identification, batch verification, and quick checkout. You can configure barcode formats to match your existing labeling system or print new labels directly from the module.
How does the system handle controlled substance dispensing?
Controlled substances are flagged by schedule type in the drug catalog. The system enforces additional verification steps including pharmacist authentication, quantity limits, and mandatory documentation. All controlled substance transactions are logged in a separate audit trail for regulatory compliance.
Can the pharmacy module manage multiple storage locations?
Yes. You can define multiple storage locations such as main shelves, cold storage, controlled substance cabinets, and satellite pharmacies. Stock levels are tracked independently per location, and inter-location transfers are managed with full traceability.
Is insurance claim processing included in the base module?
The pharmacy module includes insurance plan configuration, formulary management, co-pay calculation, and claim record generation. Integration with specific insurance payer systems can be configured based on your regional requirements and payer APIs.
