Research On Pharmacy Management System Application Based On Workflow

To reduce the costs of business operating,many medicine enterprises have established the MIS(Management Information System) in and out of the intranet ,However, the developing mode of traditional MIS made the operation flows of enterprise "solidified" in the software system.For example,once the operation flows are changed a little,the structures of procedure will be correspondingly changed largely.Hence, the flexibility, easy to use are poor, and the implementation,maintainability are very difficult. It can not adapt the enterprise modes which change quickly.The workflow technology is a rapidly developing new technology. Its main characteristic is to realizethe automation or semi-automation of operation process. Along with the development of workflow technology, it has been widely applied to various development of management information systems.This paper makes research on the developing status quo,tendency of workflow technology and workflow engine.Based on the operation needs analysis of medicine management, referring to the system architecture, the general framework is presented.On the base of that, the design of operation flows is researched deeply, and the detailed design process of medicine taking is given out.The system takes advantage of XML-based process definition language to integrate other workflow definitions properly.In the design of organization model, the role-based access control is used to meet crossover complex needs of the enterprise organizations.The workflow engine finishes flows of scheduling through scheduling,task manager,Resource Manager and Information Manager coordinate. It ensures flows to execute properly according to flows sequence which is defined beforehand.by calling the workflow engine API interface,make the medicine work flow management system application to become a reality.This paper takes advantage of the development platform of J2EE by the form of web and workflow engine API interface to make the workflow successfully applied in the medicine management system.
