    DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR
    No. 2021 - 0138
    TO : DIRECTORS OF CENTERS FOR HEALTH DEVELOPMENT
    (CHDs), CHIEFS OF HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL CENTERS,
    MINISTER OF HEALTH — BANGSAMORO AUTONOMOUS
    REGION IN MUSLIM MINDANAO (MOH-BARMM), LOCAL

    AND ESTABLISHMENTS

    SUBJECT : End of XML File Format Support of the Electronic Drug Price
    Monitoring System (EDPMS)

    In Republic Act No. 9502, otherwise known as the “Universally Accessible Cheaper and
    Quality Medicines Act of 2008,” the Secretary of Health (SOH) is mandated to establish and
    initiate an electronic price monitoring and regulation system for drugs and medicines which
    now known as the Electronic Drug Price Monitoring System (EDPMS). Currently, the EDPMS
    is
    requires all drug outlets and establishments to submit annual/quarterly inventory and price data
    to the DOH using its offline version by default.

    Over the years, it has been a challenge for the Department to utilize and validate all collected
    data due to the erroneous inputs from the stakeholders. To minimize the occurrence of such
    events, the Department initiated the development of EDPMS v.4 which provides control over
    most incoming data to the system. However, upon assessment, the use and implementation of
    EDPMS v.4 will affect the current data collection process from its stakeholders. In the new
    version, XML file formats will no longer be accepted by the system.

    In line with the above, the DOH shall no longer accept XML file format in the EDPMS
    beginning 1 January 2022. All concerned drug outlets and establishments are hereby requested
    to communicate with the Regional Drug Price Monitoring Officer (RDPMO) in your area to
    schedule for an orientation of the EDPMS offline version.

    For strict and prompt compliance.
