Hello everyone,
I wanted to clarify how patient access to prescription information is typically handled in OpenMRS implementations.
Since OpenMRS is primarily a clinician-facing EMR, Patients usually don’t interact directly with the OpenMRS frontend.
When a clinician prescribes medications:
-
Are prescriptions commonly provided to patients via printouts or PDFs generated from OpenMRS data?
-
Are there existing modules or integrations that support sending basic prescription summaries via SMS (for example, medicine names or visit summaries)?
-
Or is this usually handled by custom patient portals or external messaging services built on top of OpenMRS APIs?
Thanks for any guidance or references.
