CDAP Pharmacist Smart Card

** The Pharmacist card is a card issued to a pharmacist and it is ONLY to be used by the pharmacist to whom the card was issued.

** It is clearly distinguishable from the patient’s card as it is a plain white card which contains the pharmacist’s name and pharmacist user id just below the integrated smart card chip.

** When inserting this card into the terminal, the pharmacist must ensure that they insert it chip first into the terminal with the chip side facing up.
** The pharmacist must take note that he/she cannot simply take his/her card and insert it into any terminal that has the CDAP application installed on it.

** In order for the pharmacist to use a valid card, he/she MUST be registered on the terminal in which he/she wants to use it! Once registered, the pharmacist can login successfully!

** A pharmacist also has to be valid for his/her login to be successful as well.
** When the pharmacist’s card is first issued, and as long as he is registered on the terminal, a first use validation is done.
** This means, when the user inserts the card for the very first time into the terminal, the pharmacist would be asked to validate the card online.
** By pressing OK, the terminal would begin dialing to the remote computer to validate the card.
** As long as a return message states that the card is valid, then the logon is allowed to proceed.
** If however, the return message is Invalid, the card is blocked and the user is automatically blocked on the terminal as well.

** This would have the effect of the user not being allowed to perform a manual login! It should be noted that a pharmacist goes through an automatic validation every thirty (30) days.

** A pharmacist can also be made inactive in which case he/she would not be able to use the card and it would be made invalid as well as blocked on the terminal he/she were using the card on.

CDAP Patient Smart Card

** The Patient card is a card used ONLY by the patient to whom the card was issued.
** Unlike the pharmacist’s card, this card has artwork printed in the background of the card.
** Also, there is a notice at the back of the card printed.
** When inserting these cards into the terminal the pharmacist must ensure that they insert it chip first into the terminal with the chip side facing up.
** A patient can take his/her card and carry it to any pharmacist that can issue a CDAP Prescription.
** A patient also has to be valid for his/her prescription to be honoured.
** When the patient’s card is first issued, a first use validation is done.
** This means, when the user inserts the card for the very first time into the terminal, the user would be asked to validate the card online.
** By pressing OK, the terminal would begin dialing to the remote computer to validate the patient’s card.
