In-date medication comes back faster than it goes out
A resident is discharged, and the medication comes back sealed and in date.
It happens every cycle, across every facility you serve. Federal rules let you redispense some of it, but only with the documentation to prove chain of custody. The rest, still perfectly good, becomes waste you sort, log, and carry.
Another verified pharmacy needs that returned stock right now, and the trade can be fully documented, chain of custody intact.
