Module 06 · Prescriptions with safety checks
A warning at the point of prescribing is worth more than an incident report afterwards.
When a clinician writes a prescription, DawaSmart checks it against the patient's recorded allergies, including class cross-reactivity such as penicillins, and against the patient's current medications, and shows any warning before the prescription is sent to the pharmacy.
