DFD: A hospital pharmacy manages prescriptions issued by doctors for inpatients. When a doctor writes a prescription, it is sent to the pharmacy. If the prescription cannot be processed (e.g., missing information or unavailable medication), an unfilled order response is sent back to the doctor. The pharmacy reviews and sends the prescription to the appropriate station. During this step, the pharmacy technician checks the prescription against the patient file to verify patient information. At the station, the pharmacy staff reviews the prescription order. If valid, the order proceeds to be filled. If not, an unfilled order response is returned to the doctor. The pharmacy staff then fills the prescription order with the required drugs. The order fill information is updated in the patient file. Once the order is filled, the pharmacy system generates a drug label. The label includes the patient number, drug type, amount, and cost. The generated information flows to: The Billing Department, which uses it to prepare the patient’s billing. The Nurses’ Station, which uses the drug label to administer the medication to the patient.
