    (2018) Abikoye, O.C; Salihu, S.A; Shodolu, W.O
    Doctors are saddled with the challenges of writing clinical notes which serve as a form of documenting the patient’s clinical histories and at the same time write a drug prescription for pharmacy to dispense. This manual process of documentation and writing of prescription is very tedious, stressful, involves duplication and time consuming, most especially for hospital that have hundreds of patients that needs diagnosis. This paper deals with the extraction of drugs prescribed by doctors in the clinical note of the patient. The developed system was designed using MySQL and Visual Basic.NET. The system also takes into considerations the registration of patients, diagnosis by the Doctor and reports on patient’s history. A total number of 50 drugs and illness were generated in the library used and four different samples of clinical notes were collected from Doctors to test run the system. It was able to extract the drug prescribed as written in the clinical notes successfully.
