Design and Implementation of a Computer Intelligent Pharmaceutical Centre System
Design and Implementation of a Computer Intelligent Pharmaceutical Centre System
Abstract
The need to develop a system that would improve the management of stocked pharmaceutical items in the pharmacy became beatable due to some setbacks experienced by the current operations of the pharmaceutical establishments.
A drug procurement and distribution tracking system is a set of computer programs that obtain the supplies of drugs, distribute the drugs, and monitors the inventory control of the drugs.
Using the pharmaceutical department of UNTH University teaching hospital as a case study, the department using manual method to operate lacks good storage of information system for drugs. The recording system tends to be complex and the method of tracking expired drugs is poor.
A good approach to this problem is to involve the use of computers by designing the form, using Access in developing the database and C# as the programming language, to enable keeping accurate records of drugs and prevent sales of expired drugs.

INTRODUCTION
Computerization is defined as the control of processes by computers and its peripherals. Today it would be difficult to think of any process, business or action that could not have profited from the numerous benefits of the computer system. Controlling process or devices with computer started long ago since the invention of computer.
In the 20th century inventors tried to make processes easier with the use of computers. Secondly computerization has been greatly applied or used in controlling process that requires frequent action such as drug procurement,
drug management, drug tracking and drug distributions in hospital management information system in pharmacy departments of hospitals.
This project provides a computer based information management system in a Pharmacy Department by designing a cost effective,
user friendly application, incorporating key attributes of data integrity and system security suitable for use in the pharmacy department of the hospital using Microsoft Access software in developing the database and C# as the programming language.
The overall aim of this project is to optimize time and material in the processing of data needed for effective operation of large pharmacy department of a hospital.
