The Electronic Order System of medicine using Web EDJ adopted the Internet and Web-based technologies which grows so fast lately, enables medical institutions to place an order with the pharmaceutical companies for various pharmacy and vendors to receive an order form in electronical ways and to deliver the products. It designed that every application programs installed and run at web-server, so if personal computers located in user facilities have only web-browser, user can order medicines wherever Internet is available. We can expect two effects from this system. First, it reduces cost and budget because of substituting electronical ordering the pharmacy for telephoning or faxing.
