HUMS Hospital

Description:
Currently, when a doctor prescribes STAT medications IN THE CLINIC, the order is automatically routed to the Pharmacy Module > Outpatient Medication.

However, for STAT medications, this workflow is incorrect. These STAT medications are typically administered immediately using available floor stock and should not be processed as outpatient pharmacy items.

Additionally, stock deduction is not aligned with actual administration, causing discrepancies in inventory tracking.

Current Behavior:
STAT medication orders flow to:
Pharmacy Module → Outpatient Medication.
Stock is treated as pharmacy dispensed instead of floor stock usage.
No linkage between medication administration and stock deduction.

Expected Behavior:
1) STAT medication orders should be visible under:
Pharmacy Module → Patient Consumption → Doctor’s Orders
2) Floor stock should only be deducted after medication is administered

Staff nurse should:
1) Administer the medication
After administering, nurse should navigate to: Pharmacy Module → Patient Consumption → Doctor’s Orders
2) Deduct the medication from available floor stock

Impact:
1) Inaccurate stock tracking between pharmacy and floor stock
2) Workflow mismatch for STAT medication handling
3) Potential audit and inventory discrepancies
