Learning ObjectivesNi-kshay: Drug Dispensation Module overview. Cover all the processes involved and its utility.
The Drug Dispensation Module in Ni-kshay web allows users to record details of products and the quality of the drugs issued to the patients. This module was launched to replace the existing Prescription Module and to add a variety of features that were missing in the Prescription Module. The user can access the dispensation for a particular patient from the Patient Details page, or directly from the navigation sidebar.

Utility |
|
Add Dispensation |
This process allows users to record information on dispensation details, drug issuing facility, and product and refill details. |
|
Print Dispensation |
This process allows users to download and print a PDF containing all the information for a dispensation. |
|
Return Dispensation |
This process allows users to record events of dispensed drugs being returned back. To return a dispensation, the staff can select the drugs to be returned and add an appropriate reason for returning the drugs. |
|
Copy Dispensation |
This process allows users to create a copy of an existing dispensation for a patient thereby saving time by avoiding repetitive data entry. |
|
Refill Due Task list |
This process will show the list of patients who have a "Next Refill Due Date" in 2 days or less. It serves as a reminder so that the user can dispense the drugs on time. |
|
Outcome assignment changes |
This process automatically extends the “Treatment End Date” in the cases where the “Next Refill Due Date” is greater than the “Treatment End date”. A note for the same is also added. |
|
Adherence linkage |
This process allows users to switch on/off the linkage between dispensation and adherence. In case the link is switched on, no manual doses will be registered for the patient's adherence. Currently, the link is defaulted to "Yes" for Drug-sensitive TB (DS-TB) patients and "No" for Drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) patients. |
