Narcotics Register
Every receipt and issue of a narcotic or psychotropic substance is logged with batch, quantity, authoriser and timestamp. The balance is computed and reconcilable.
NDPS
NDPS Act Compliance
The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 requires hospitals to maintain a register of receipt, issue and balance for every controlled substance. OneCity maintains this register digitally with append-only entries, user attribution and timestamps.
Why it matters
NDPS inspections by the State Drugs Controller can result in licence cancellation and criminal prosecution for missing or inaccurate records.
How OneCity covers it
Prescription Link
Issues are linked to the prescribing doctor and the patient prescription, so the chain from prescriber to dispensing is auditable.
Tamper Evidence
Register entries are append-only. Corrections are recorded as new entries with reason, not as overwrites.
Modules involved
Pharmacy
Every compliance area OneCity covers ties into the same audit trail and quality tracking used across the platform, not a separate reporting system. For how this fits your broader accreditation planning, see our guide to NABH accreditation software. If you are sequencing this alongside other compliance work, our guide to realistic ERP implementation timelines covers how hospitals typically prioritise overlapping requirements. See our guide to choosing hospital management software for how compliance fits into the broader evaluation.
