In patient billing process 57(66.3%) have experienced system price fluctuation, Mismatch of information between hardcopy prescription and the system 28(32.6%). In inventory management the common challenge was system delay while discrepancy was reported by 29.1%, delayed notification for expired items 44.1%.<br/><br/>Conclusion: The electronic pharmacy management system has shown promising results in reducing challenges and errors which were common with the manual way pharmacy management.
