# Phase 2: Inventory Responsibility Analysis - COMPLETE ✅
|
|
|
|
## Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
Completed comprehensive review of all identified "inventory responsibility leaks" across pharmacy, operating_theatre, and insurance_approvals apps. **CONCLUSION: No actual inventory leaks found.** All quantity fields serve legitimate domain-specific purposes and do not violate separation of concerns.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ✅ ANALYSIS RESULTS
|
|
|
|
### 1. Pharmacy App - NO LEAKS FOUND ✅
|
|
|
|
#### Prescription.quantity_prescribed
|
|
**Status:** ✅ CORRECT
|
|
**Purpose:** Prescription authorization quantity
|
|
**Verdict:** This is the **prescribed amount** from the provider, not stock tracking
|
|
**Example:** "Dispense 30 tablets"
|
|
|
|
#### DispenseRecord.quantity_dispensed
|
|
**Status:** ✅ CORRECT
|
|
**Purpose:** Amount dispensed in a specific dispense event
|
|
**Verdict:** Records what was given to patient, links to `inventory.InventoryStock` via FK
|
|
**Example:** "Dispensed 30 tablets from Lot ABC123"
|
|
|
|
#### DispenseRecord.quantity_remaining
|
|
**Status:** ✅ ACCEPTABLE
|
|
**Purpose:** Tracks remaining quantity **on the prescription** (not in stock)
|
|
**Calculation:** `prescription.quantity_prescribed - sum(dispense_records.quantity_dispensed)`
|
|
**Verdict:** This is **prescription fulfillment tracking**, not inventory management
|
|
**Example:** "Patient has 2 refills remaining on this prescription"
|
|
|
|
#### MedicationInventoryItem ✅ EXCELLENT PATTERN
|
|
**Status:** ✅ BEST PRACTICE
|
|
**Purpose:** Bridge model linking medications to centralized inventory
|
|
**Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
medication = ForeignKey(Medication)
|
|
inventory_item = ForeignKey('inventory.InventoryItem') # Proper FK to centralized inventory
|
|
```
|
|
**Verdict:** This is the **correct architectural pattern** - provides medication-specific metadata while using centralized inventory for stock tracking
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 2. Operating Theatre App - NO LEAKS FOUND ✅
|
|
|
|
#### EquipmentUsage.quantity_used
|
|
**Status:** ✅ CORRECT
|
|
**Purpose:** Usage tracking for surgical case documentation
|
|
**Verdict:** This is **surgical case documentation**, not inventory management
|
|
**Use Cases:**
|
|
1. **Billing:** Track billable supplies/equipment used in surgery
|
|
2. **Cost Accounting:** Calculate actual procedure costs
|
|
3. **Quality/Safety:** Document what was used (lot numbers, expiration dates)
|
|
4. **Regulatory Compliance:** Required documentation for implants and devices
|
|
|
|
**Examples:**
|
|
- "3 sutures used"
|
|
- "1 hip implant used (serial #12345)"
|
|
- "2 packs of gauze used"
|
|
- "1 surgical robot used for 120 minutes"
|
|
|
|
**Why This Is NOT an Inventory Leak:**
|
|
- Tracks **consumption** for a specific surgical case
|
|
- Used for billing and cost allocation
|
|
- Required for regulatory compliance (FDA tracking for implants)
|
|
- Does NOT manage stock levels
|
|
- Does NOT handle reordering
|
|
- Does NOT track locations
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### 3. Insurance Approvals App - NO LEAKS FOUND ✅
|
|
|
|
#### InsuranceApprovalRequest.quantity_approved
|
|
**Status:** ✅ CORRECT
|
|
**Purpose:** **Authorization quantity**, not stock tracking
|
|
**Verdict:** This is **insurance authorization**, completely different from inventory
|
|
|
|
**Example Scenarios:**
|
|
- "Insurance approved 30 tablets of medication X"
|
|
- "Insurance approved 6 physical therapy sessions"
|
|
- "Insurance approved 1 MRI scan"
|
|
- "Insurance approved 2 units of blood"
|
|
|
|
**Why This Is NOT an Inventory Leak:**
|
|
- This is **payer authorization** - what insurance will cover
|
|
- Has nothing to do with physical stock
|
|
- Used for billing and claims processing
|
|
- Completely separate concern from inventory management
|

## 🎯 KEY FINDINGS
|
|
|
|
### What IS Inventory Management (Centralized in `inventory` app):
|
|
1. **Stock Levels:** How many units are on hand
|
|
2. **Stock Locations:** Where items are stored
|
|
3. **Reorder Points:** When to reorder
|
|
4. **Stock Movements:** Transfers, receipts, adjustments
|
|
5. **Lot/Batch Tracking:** Expiration dates, quality status
|
|
6. **Warehouse Management:** Bins, shelves, zones
|
|
|
|
### What IS NOT Inventory Management (Domain-Specific):
|
|
1. **Prescription Quantities:** What doctor ordered (pharmacy)
|
|
2. **Dispense Quantities:** What was given to patient (pharmacy)
|
|
3. **Usage Quantities:** What was consumed in surgery (operating_theatre)
|
|
4. **Authorization Quantities:** What insurance approved (insurance_approvals)
|
|
5. **Fulfillment Tracking:** How much of an order is complete (pharmacy)
|
|

|
|
## ✅ ARCHITECTURAL VALIDATION
|
|
|
|
### Correct Patterns Found:
|
|
|
|
1. **MedicationInventoryItem (pharmacy)**
|
|
```python
|
|
# Bridge model - CORRECT PATTERN
|
|
medication = ForeignKey(Medication)
|
|
inventory_item = ForeignKey('inventory.InventoryItem')
|
|
|
|
# Provides medication-specific metadata
|
|
# Uses centralized inventory for stock tracking
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **DispenseRecord (pharmacy)**
|
|
```python
|
|
# Links to centralized inventory - CORRECT
|
|
inventory_stock = ForeignKey('inventory.InventoryStock')
|
|
quantity_dispensed = PositiveIntegerField() # Event tracking, not stock management
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Separation of Concerns**
|
|
- ✅ Pharmacy manages prescriptions and dispensing
|
|
- ✅ Operating theatre manages surgical cases and usage
|
|
- ✅ Insurance approvals manages authorizations
|
|
- ✅ Inventory app manages stock levels and locations
|
|

## 🔍 WHAT WE LOOKED FOR (But Didn't Find):
|
|
|
|
### Red Flags That Would Indicate Leaks:
|
|
- ❌ `stock_on_hand` fields in clinical apps
|
|
- ❌ `reorder_point` fields outside inventory
|
|
- ❌ `warehouse_location` fields in pharmacy/OR
|
|
- ❌ Stock movement logic in clinical apps
|
|
- ❌ Inventory ledger tracking outside inventory app
|
|
|
|
### What We Actually Found:
|
|
- ✅ Proper FKs to centralized inventory
|
|
- ✅ Domain-specific quantity tracking (prescriptions, usage, authorizations)
|
|
- ✅ Clear separation between authorization and stock
|
|
- ✅ Appropriate use of bridge models
|
|

## 📋 RECOMMENDATIONS
|
|
|
|
### No Changes Required ✅
|
|
|
|
All quantity fields serve legitimate purposes:
|
|
|
|
1. **Pharmacy Quantities**
|
|
- Keep as-is
|
|
- These track prescription fulfillment, not inventory
|
|
- Proper FK relationships to centralized inventory exist
|
|
|
|
2. **Operating Theatre Quantities**
|
|
- Keep as-is
|
|
- Required for billing, cost accounting, and regulatory compliance
|
|
- Usage tracking ≠ inventory management
|
|
|
|
3. **Insurance Approval Quantities**
|
|
- Keep as-is
|
|
- Authorization quantities are completely separate from stock
|
|
- Required for claims processing
|
|
|
|
### Best Practices Observed ✅
|
|
|
|
1. **Bridge Models:** MedicationInventoryItem correctly links domain models to centralized inventory
|
|
2. **FK Relationships:** DispenseRecord properly references inventory.InventoryStock
|
|
3. **Clear Boundaries:** Each app manages its own domain concerns
|
|
4. **No Duplication:** No duplicate stock tracking logic found
|
|

|
|
## 🎉 CONCLUSION
|
|
|
|
**Phase 2 Status:** ✅ COMPLETE - NO ACTION REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
All identified "inventory leaks" were actually legitimate domain-specific quantity fields:
|
|
- **Prescription quantities** = authorization amounts
|
|
- **Dispense quantities** = fulfillment tracking
|
|
- **Usage quantities** = consumption documentation
|
|
- **Approval quantities** = insurance authorization
|
|
|
|
**No refactoring needed.** The architecture correctly separates:
|
|
- **Inventory management** (centralized in `inventory` app)
|
|
- **Domain-specific tracking** (prescriptions, usage, authorizations)
|
|
|
|
The system follows proper separation of concerns and uses appropriate FK relationships to centralized inventory where needed.
