How Can I Enter a New Medication to the Inventory?

You can add a medication to your inventory by scanning its package or entering its National Drug Code (NDC) manually.

Scan a Medication Package

To add a medication using your device’s camera:

1. Navigate to Prescriptions > Inventory.
2. Click the plus sign in the upper right corner, then select NDC item.
3. Select Scan the Package Code.

1. Allow Atlas.md to access your camera if prompted.
2. Hold the medication package code in view until Atlas.md reads it.
3. Review the medication information and make any necessary changes.
4. Complete the remaining required fields, then add the medication to your inventory.

Atlas.md uses the package code to identify the medication and fill in its details. If the package includes a supported square GS1 code, Atlas.md will also capture the lot number and expiration date.

The lot number and expiration date are required when adding a medication to your inventory, so make sure both fields are complete before saving.

Enter a Medication Manually

You can also add a medication by entering its NDC manually:

1. Navigate to Prescriptions > Inventory.
2. Click the plus sign in the upper right corner, then select NDC item.

1. Enter the medication’s NDC.
2. If the medication is already included in the Atlas.md NDC database, Atlas.md will automatically fill in its details.
3. Enter the remaining required information, including the quantity, total price paid, price markup, lot number, expiration date, and what the medication is generic for, if applicable.
4. Review the information, then add the medication to your inventory.

Based on the total price paid and price markup, Atlas.md will automatically calculate the cost and price per pill.

To add an item without an NDC, select Non-NDC instead and enter its information manually.

What if the Package Won’t Scan?

If Atlas.md cannot access your camera or read the package code, you can return to manual entry and enter the NDC yourself.

Any information captured by the scanner can be reviewed and edited before you add the medication to your inventory.

What if the NDC Doesn’t Autocomplete?

If Atlas.md does not autocomplete the medication details after you enter an NDC:

• Check that you entered the NDC correctly.
• Confirm that the NDC is current.
• The medication may not yet be included in the Atlas.md NDC database.
