Overview

The Pharmacy Inventory Management feature provides healthcare providers with a comprehensive pharmaceutical stock control system that streamlines medication tracking, batch management, and prescription fulfillment. This integrated inventory solution enables doctors to organize medications by categories, maintain detailed batch records with expiration tracking, manage stock quantities across multiple batches, and seamlessly integrate pharmacy data with billing systems and prescription documentation, ensuring accurate medication dispensing and efficient practice operations.

Key Features and Capabilities

The feature offers flexible medication categorization where healthcare professionals can create custom drug categories including Injection, Tablet, Capsule, General, and specialty-specific groupings, enabling organized inventory structure that mirrors clinical prescribing patterns. The intuitive category management interface supports visibility controls, allowing practices to show or hide specific medication categories based on prescribing frequency and specialty requirements.

Advanced batch management capabilities enable comprehensive tracking of individual medication lots with detailed attributes including batch numbers, quantities, unit costs, tax percentages, expiration dates, supplier information, vendor details, and manufacturer records. Healthcare providers can maintain multiple batches of the same medication with different expiration dates and pricing, ensuring proper stock rotation and preventing dispensing of expired medications.

The system supports dual-mode medication usage with intelligent configuration options. For billing and invoicing purposes, the feature requires complete pricing information including unit costs, tax calculations, batch numbers, and expiration dates, enabling accurate financial transactions and regulatory compliance. For prescription documentation within the Rx casesheet, medications can be referenced without mandatory pricing details, allowing doctors to prescribe freely without inventory constraints while maintaining comprehensive drug databases.

Automated inventory deduction functionality integrates seamlessly with the billing system through configurable settings. When enabled from the settings menu, the inventory management flag triggers automatic quantity reduction whenever medications are dispensed through billing transactions, maintaining real-time stock accuracy and preventing overselling. This automation eliminates manual inventory adjustments and provides instant visibility into medication availability.

The expandable medication interface displays essential information at a glance including drug name, dosage strength, current stock quantity, and quick action controls for editing, pricing management, and deletion. The Quick Pick feature allows rapid medication selection during consultations, while Visibility toggles enable practice-specific medication list customization. With searchable drug databases, batch-level tracking, and integrated billing synchronization, the Pharmacy Inventory Management feature transforms medication stock control into a systematic, accurate process that enhances patient safety and operational efficiency.
