E-drug: Drug inventory control software
-----------------------------------------------------
Dear e-druggers,
I agree with Richard Laing that more information is needed
on the features and performance of existing drug inventory
software packages in english and/or other languages.
Since 1997 we (ETC Crystal; CHD-Netherlands;
AiDA-Netherlands)are supporting the Pharmacy Populaire
du Mali (PPM) in the development and application of
tailor-made software packages for stock keeping and
(integrated) financial administrative management. Our
computerexpert Mr. Gert Kaasschieter will present the main
features of our software in a subsequent email.
However, before we decided to develop a new and
tailor-made package (and thus accepted the risk of
reinventing wheels and having bugs at the initial stage), we
made an inventory of existing software, to make sure that
programme requirements could not be met already by
existing software . It was not at all easy to make this
inventory and it may well be possible that many potentially
interesting packages have been developed - often in the
context of projects - but go on unnoticed at the
(inter)national level.
Who will coordinate??
