VitaFlowHospital pharmacy

Features

The whole pharmacy, one lot at a time.

Seven areas, one database: what is ordered, received, stored, issued and administered stays linked to the same lot.

01

Supply

From needs to invoice, every purchase follows a controlled path: whoever drafts is not whoever approves.

  • Purchase ordersPrepared from replenishment proposals, approved by someone other than their author, e-mailed to the supplier; an approved order is changed by amendment.

  • ContractsContract prices per supplier; every order is checked against the contract in force.

  • ReceiptsLot and expiry typed or read from the GS1 code; a wrong receipt can be cancelled, and the cancellation is traced.

  • InvoicesMatched with order and receipt (matching or variance), then validated, disputed or paid.

  • Returns and credit notesLots returned to the supplier with a PDF return note; the credit note received is linked to the return and checked against its value.

  • SuppliersLead times measured on actual receipts; cancelled receipts and invoices excluded from indicators.

Stock

Stock is never typed in: it is computed from movements, by lot and warehouse.

  • Stock by lotQuantities by lot, warehouse and expiry, recomputed on every movement.

Distribute

From wards to pharmacy and back: every issue is linked to a ward, a cabinet or a patient.

  • Ward ordersEntered by wards, validated by the pharmacist, served lot by lot.

  • Back-ordersWhen stock falls short, what is available is delivered and the rest becomes a back-order, deliverable as soon as stock allows.

  • Ward cabinetsPar levels per ward, count-and-refill rounds and automatically generated replenishment orders.

  • TransfersLot transfers between establishments of the group, with partial receipt and variances flagged.

Narcotics

A reinforced path following the register logic: nothing moves without a trace and a second pair of eyes.

  • SafeNarcotics can only be stored in a secure location.
  • WitnessAdjustments and destructions require a second person, distinct from the author.

  • RegisterReceipts and issues with a running balance, per item.
  • VigilanceVariances and atypical consumption flagged: points to check, never conclusions. Restricted screen, every access recorded.

Trace and recall

From the lot received to the patient treated, and backwards when a lot is recalled.

  • Named-patient dispensingIssue to an identified patient, by lot, with prescriber and prescription; can be cancelled, and the cancellation is traced.
