HUMS Hospital

Description:
Currently, all inpatient medication orders flow directly into the Pharmacy Inpatient queue regardless of whether the medication is supplied from ward floor stock. This workflow causes inaccurate inventory handling and stock reconciliation issues.

When medications are actually administered from ward floor stock but still processed through the inpatient pharmacy flow:

• Ward floor stock quantities are not deducted correctly
• Pharmacy stock movement becomes inaccurate
• Floor stock balances do not tally during physical stock count/audit
• Consumption tracking becomes unreliable

Enhancement is required to allow doctors to indicate when a medication is intended to be supplied from ward floor stock.

Requirement
1) Add a checkbox option named “Floor Stock” within the IP medication ordering screen.
2) When the checkbox is selected:
The medication order should NOT flow into:
- Pharmacy Inpatient dispensing queue

Instead, the order should:

• Flow into Pharmacy > Patient Consumption > Doctors Orders
• Automatically deduct quantity from the respective ward/floor stock inventory

Ward-Based Stock Deduction Logic
The system must deduct stock based on the patient’s current admitted ward.

Example:

If patient is admitted in Ward 3A
→ medication consumption must deduct from Ward 3A floor stock
If patient is transferred to another ward
→ subsequent floor stock medication orders must deduct from the new ward’s stock inventory

The system should always reference:

Patient current active ward location
Linked ward inventory/floor stock setup

Expected Behavior
Doctor places inpatient medication order.
Doctor selects “Floor Stock” checkbox.
System identifies patient’s current ward.
Medication bypasses normal inpatient pharmacy dispensing workflow.
Medication appears under:
Pharmacy > Patient Consumption > Doctors Orders
Medication quantity is deducted from:
Corresponding ward floor stock inventory based on patient admitted ward

Current Issue / Problem Statement
Current direct flow into Pharmacy Inpatient causes:

• Incorrect pharmacy stock deduction
• No deduction from actual ward floor stock
• Floor stock quantity mismatch during stock count
• Inaccurate ward inventory reconciliation
• Difficulty tracing actual medication consumption source

This enhancement is required to ensure:

• Accurate ward stock balance
• Proper patient consumption tracking
• Reliable inventory audit trail
• Correct stock count reconciliation
