Manual processes create gaps in controlled substance tracking, leading to: (1) Inability to account for narcotic medications, (2) Missing or illegible records during audits, (3) Staff fear of punitive action delaying error reporting.

Controlled substances (opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants under NDPS Schedules) can be diverted or misused without immediate detection.

Without integration, nursing homes experience: (1) Dual data entry of medication orders into EHR and pharmacy systems, (2) Time-consuming fax/phone verification of prescription changes, (3) Manual monthly reconciliation between pharmacy billing and administration records. Search result [3] notes nursing home software should facilitate real-time data accessibility and reduce manual processing. The lack of automation forces administrative staff to spend 10–20 hours weekly on medication-related reconciliation.
