Definition: The use or consumption of feature provided by a Pharmacy Information System (PIS). A pharmacy information system (PIS) is a multi-functional system that allows pharmacists to maintain the supply and organization of drugs. The system helps decrease medication errors, increase patient safety, report drug usage, and track costs.

It can manage prescription order entry, dispensing, and patient medication profiles. It can also handle inventory management, including tracking medication stock and expiration dates. The system can provide drug information to help pharmacists ensure medication safety, such as checking for drug interactions or allergies. Additionally, a PIS can generate reports for regulatory compliance and business analysis. It can integrate with other systems in the healthcare facility, such as the electronic health record (EHR) system, to provide a seamless workflow and comprehensive patient care. Example: A PIS can be used in a hospital pharmacy to manage medication dispensing. When a doctor prescribes medication for a patient, the prescription is entered into the system. The pharmacist can then use the PIS to check the medication against the patient's profile for any potential issues, such as drug interactions or allergies. Once the medication is dispensed, the system updates the patient's medication profile and the inventory. In a retail pharmacy, a PIS can be used to manage inventory. The system can track the stock levels of various medications, alerting the pharmacist when stock is low or when medication is nearing its expiration date. This helps to prevent medication shortages and reduce waste from expired medication.
