Abstract

Electronic pharmacy refers to integration of digital technologies into hospital pharmacy services to enhance medication management, dispensing accuracy and patient safety. This system enables electronic prescribing, real-time inventory management, automated dispensing and seamless communication between physician, pharmacists and patients. It helps in clinical decision making through drug interaction alert, dosage optimization, tracking medication history. Discharge medication management is a critical component of patient care that ensures continuity of treatment during the transition from hospital to home. Pharmacist led intervention supported by electronic health record and clinical decision support system plays a vital role in identifying shortcomings, optimizing therapies and educating patients about proper medication use. Strengthening discharge medication practices through structured protocols and digital solutions can significantly improve patient safety and quality of care.
