Drug database : how to add drugs

Software Bahmni

Is there a way I can upload a drug database into OpenMRS? Lets say I have an excel or a file dump of drugs. How can I add them to the OpenMRS database? OR is there any API using which I can provide drugs information from an external source? Looping @rashmibala my colleague.

(Changed question category to Bahmni, so appropriate team can see)

You can use the initialiser module (written by Mekom), or csv upload.

See this:

  1. Initialiser Module Option: Bahmni LITE clinic-config, initz module csv: clinic-config/masterdata/configuration/drugs at main · Bahmni/clinic-config · GitHub
  2. Direct CSV upload Option: https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BAH/pages/12320770/Drug+Data

The initialiser option I think is more robust and allows for better version management.
