Top 9 Intelligent Systems of YIFANG Smart TCM Pharmacy
Here are the top 9 intelligent systems of YIFANG Smart TCM Pharmacy, each designed to make prescription dispensing safer, faster, and more accurate.
1. Electronic Prescription Review
YIFANG’s system can automatically check prescriptions for compatibility and safety, and recognize traditional rules. If a prescription violates any of the rules, the system will immediately show a warning. This helps prevent potential mistakes and ensures patients receive safe treatments.
2. Maximum Dosage Alert
When a prescription’s dosage exceeds the pre-set limit, YIFANG’s system automatically alerts the pharmacist. The system requires confirmation before dispensing.
This feature prevents overdosing and makes sure patients get the correct amount of medicine every time. It is especially useful in busy hospital pharmacies.
3. Automatic Dosage Conversion
YIFANG’s system can convert traditional decoction pieces into the correct amount of granules automatically.
This means doctors can continue writing prescriptions as usual, and the system will adjust the dosage for granules, ensuring accurate dispensing without changing the doctor’s workflow.

6. Automatic Sealing
After dispensing, the system can automatically seal the granules. Automatic sealing ensures hygiene, prevents contamination, and makes it easier to deliver medicine to patients. Automatic sealing also reduces manual work for pharmacy staff.
7. Automatic Printing of Prescription and Patient Information
Once a prescription is dispensed, YIFANG’s system prints the patient’s information, prescription details, and instructions, prevents errors, improves record-keeping, and ensures that each patient gets the right medicine.
