Title: Record the nurse/provider who collects inpatient medications on behalf of a patient
As a pharmacist dispensing medications in an inpatient setting, I want to record (tag) the nurse or provider who collects medications on behalf of an admitted patient, so that I can account for drug issuance accurately, support audit trails, and improve traceability of medication handovers.
Background & Context
-
In inpatient wards, medications are typically collected by a nurse (or authorized provider) for multiple patients during med rounds.
-
The current workflow records the patient and dispensed items but not always the collecting staff member, which creates audit gaps (who collected, when, and under which order/administration window).
-
This feature should allow the pharmacist to select a collector (usually a nurse) from the facility’s provider/staff directory and persist that link to the dispense event for audit, reporting, and accountability.
Scope
-
Applies to inpatient dispensing flows within the Dispensing App.
-
Collector may be any active staff with provider role (configurable), defaulting to “Nurse” role in UI filter.
-
Works for single and bulk dispensing (e.g., ward round cart) of orders. @dkibet @grace @makombe @dennis @ibacher @akanter @veronica Your thoughts?
