Pharmacy — compliance built in

FIFO batch tracking, Pharmacist PIN locks, and AWS Textract OCR vault from the dCore master requirements — every action that touches a regulated product is logged, locked, and traceable.

What pharmacy counters get

  • Auto-FIFO batch tracking

    Per-product batches with batch numbers and expiry dates. FIFO selection at sale with expiring-soon alerts on the dashboard.

  • Pharmacist PIN locks

    Controlled-substance dispenses and other high-risk actions require Pharmacist PIN authorisation. Hashed; never returned by the API.

  • Prescription OCR vault

    AWS Textract pipeline archives prescription images alongside AI-extracted text for pharmacist verification — tied to the sale.

  • Controlled-substance audit

    Dedicated, filterable audit view of every controlled-substance dispense event with the authorising Pharmacist on record.

  • Expiry alert feed

    Red-alert feed showing batches expiring in < 30 days, surfaced on the dashboard so stock rotates before it lapses.

  • Pessimistic stock locks

    Stock deductions use database transactions with row locks — no oversells under concurrent pharmacist activity.

A regulated dispense, end-to-end

From scan to archive — the dCore pharmacy flow.
  1. 01

    Scan and verify

    Scan the product. dCore surfaces the active FIFO batch and expiry. The pharmacist verifies the prescription image stored in the vault.

  2. 02

    Authorise the dispense

    Controlled-substance dispenses prompt for Pharmacist PIN. Authorising staff is recorded in the controlled-substance audit log.

  3. 03

    Sell and archive

    Sale completes against the FIFO batch. The prescription image, extracted text, and dispenser identity live alongside the sale forever.

Trust controls

  • Argon2id-hashed Pharmacist PINs — never returned by the API
  • Permission matrix with require_pin_auth and bypass_pin
  • Immutable audit log of every controlled-substance event
  • Per-branch stock with safe pharmacist-authorised transfers
  • Stock writes use lockForUpdate — no race-condition oversells
  • OCR results are advisory; pharmacist verification remains the gate

Compliance vault: prescriptions, dispense events, and final invoices are retained in the dCore Compliance Vault, available for export and inspection.

Built for multi-branch pharmacies

Pharmacist accounts, controlled-substance privileges, and PIN authority are managed per business — assigned to the branches each pharmacist actually works in.
