What Your Hospital Can Do
Designed for everyday speed and simplicity across Indian hospitals and nursing homes.
Protecting Your Most Expensive Capital Asset: Pharmacy Stock
In most hospitals, the pharmacy is the second largest source of revenue, but it is also the biggest source of hidden capital drain. Unmanaged inventory leads to a deadly dual-threat: stock-outs of critical emergency drugs (costing lives and reputation) and overstocking of slow-moving items (tying up capital and leading to expiry write-offs).
QureSetu's Pharmacy module is built entirely around First-Expiry, First-Out (FEFO) algorithms. Unlike simple retail FIFO (First-In, First-Out) systems, our software understands that a batch received yesterday might expire sooner than a batch received last month. The system rigidly guides the pharmacist to dispense the highest-risk stock first.
Beyond inventory math, compliance is a massive headache for Indian hospital pharmacies. Maintaining thick physical registers for Schedule H, H1, and X (narcotics and psychotropics) is prone to audit failures from drug inspectors. QureSetu automates this. Every time a restricted drug is dispensed, the software automatically logs the prescribing doctor's registration number, the patient's MRN, the batch, and the exact timestamp. When the drug inspector visits, you click 'Export Schedule Register' and hand them a perfect, compliant PDF in five seconds.
How it Works: Eliminating Inventory Loss Using Strict FEFO Controls
1. Prescription Received
Dr. Gupta prescribes 10 tablets of Augmentin 625mg from his OPD clinic. The digital order instantly flashes on the pharmacist's dispense queue.
2. Algorithmic Batch Selection
The hospital store has three batches of Augmentin. Instead of relying on human memory, the system automatically selects 'Batch B', which expires in exactly 2 months, reserving the newer 'Batch C' for later.
3. Confirmed Dispensing
The pharmacist scans the barcode on Batch B. The system verifies it's the correct medication and decrements the inventory count from 150 to 140 tablets instantly.
4. Auto-Reorder Trigger
Because the total stock of Augmentin just dipped below the hospital's predefined minimum threshold of 150 tablets, the system immediately drafts a Purchase Order for the preferred local distributor.
"Every year we used to write off lakhs of rupees in expired drugs simply because older stock got pushed to the back of the shelf. With QureSetu's FEFO logic, our pharmacist is guided exactly to which batch to pick. Our expiry losses have dropped by 95% in six months."

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the pharmacy handle IPD medicine returns?
When ward nurses return unused IV fluids or ampoules, the system features a dedicated 'IPD Returns' workflow. The patient's running bill is automatically credited, and the stock is placed back into active inventory.
Can we track stock across multiple physical stores (e.g., Main Store vs OT Store)?
Yes, the system supports multi-store architecture. You can issue internal indents to transfer stock from the Main Bulk Store to the OT Sub-Store or Floor Pharmacy.
Does the system support barcode scanning?
Absolutely. You can scan manufacturer GS1 barcodes or print your own batch-specific QR codes during Goods Receipt (GRN).
