Minfos Pilot Stores Only
From 8.2.1 Minfos facilitates dispensing directly from Electronic National Residential Charts. Your eNRMC software vendor also requires conformance to integrate with this feature. This functionality is currently in pilot as eNRMC software vendors achieve conformity.
eNRMC items can be dispensed from either:
- An eNRMC Chart token - all eligible items on the chart are displayed to select, and then dispense as required , or
- An eNRMC Chart Item token – an individual item within an eNRMC is populated for dispensing

1. Scan the token into the Surname or Drug field on the Dispense Form.
2. Minfos will attempt to match the patient on the eNRMC to a patient in your database.
