Core Functionalities
1. Pharmacy Management System
The Pharmacy Module automates the entire process of medicine management, from prescription to sale.
Key Features:
Prescription Integration: Automatically imports prescriptions from doctors or telemedicine consultations.
Digital Dispensing: Pharmacists can view, validate, and dispense prescribed medicines.
Stock Monitoring: Real-time visibility of available medicines, with batch and expiry tracking.
Automatic Reordering: The system sends alerts and generates purchase orders when stock runs low.
Invoicing: Integrated billing for both in-patient and out-patient purchases.
Supplier Management: Track vendors, purchase history, and cost comparisons.
AI Recommendations: Suggests alternative drugs if the prescribed brand is unavailable.
Multi-Store Support: Manage multiple pharmacy branches or hospital dispensaries.
Example Workflow:
1. Doctor generates prescription via SHMS.
2. Prescription appears in the Pharmacy Dashboard.
3. Pharmacist reviews, dispenses, and confirms.
4. System updates stock and generates an invoice.
> Integration Tip: The Pharmacy module directly connects with the Billing, Inventory, and Patient Overview modules for seamless operations.

2. Laboratory Management System
The Laboratory Module enables efficient handling of all diagnostic tests, from request to result.
Key Features:
Test Request Integration: Doctors can order lab tests directly from the patient’s record or during teleconsultation.
Sample Tracking: Barcoded sample labels ensure accurate identification and tracking.
Test Processing: Lab technicians enter and verify results within the system.
Result Automation: AI integration can analyze lab patterns and flag abnormal values.
Report Generation: Automatically generates test reports with digital signatures and hospital branding.
Patient Access: Patients can view or download their lab reports through the portal.
Quality Control: Built-in alerts for sample rejection, recalibration, and equipment maintenance.
Multi-Lab Support: Manage multiple laboratories or departments (Hematology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, etc.).
Example Workflow:
1. Doctor requests lab test (e.g., CBC, X-Ray).
2. Patient visits lab, and sample is collected and barcoded.
3. Technician enters test results.
4. System generates a digital report accessible to both patient and doctor.
> AI Integration Example: When a CBC report shows abnormal hemoglobin levels, the system flags possible anemia and notifies the doctor.

3. Inventory Management System
The Inventory Module ensures that medical and non-medical supplies are tracked, stocked, and replenished effectively.
Key Features:
Stock Level Monitoring: Real-time view of available quantities.
Automatic Alerts: Low stock and expiry alerts to prevent shortages.
Procurement Automation: Auto-generate purchase orders based on stock thresholds.
Supplier & Purchase Management: Record supplier details, purchase invoices, and payments.
Asset Categorization: Manage surgical tools, consumables, and non-medical assets.
Stock Transfer: Move items between departments or branches.
AI Forecasting: Predict future demand based on usage trends.
Inventory Valuation: Tracks value of stock for financial reporting.
Example Workflow:
1. Inventory auto-detects low stock (e.g., gloves).
2. System generates purchase order and notifies admin.
3. Supplier fulfills the order; stock updates automatically.
