It does not track actual consumption by the Patient through administration or dispense. See glossary terms Replenishment and Dispensed Inventory.

Use Case

A narrative describing a sequence of actions and responses between an actor and a system. The narrative is technology-free and implementation independent. It is the description of a well-defined task or goal – from the point-of-view of the actor that achieves the Use Case’s goal. A Use Case describes what the system needs to do without specifying how the system will do it. A Use Case that “calls” on other Use Cases – for additional functionality – via an extend or include relationship is referred to as a “parent” Use Case.
