The
purpose of a health product record is to enable a
participant to produce a record which will show where the
product came from and create an awareness for expiration
dates. Most systems fall into one of two categories.
The most
common type of system is a receiving record of all animal
health products. A calculated or theoretical usage
calculation can not be determined by this record; however,
it will allow for tracing product origination as well as
expiration date awareness.
Some
facilities employ a recordkeeping system which allows animal
health products, processing medications and implants to be
recorded under a "running" or beginning and ending
inventory. This also allows for product usage calculation.
Such a record can prove to be a great economic benefit when
charging and billing customers for these products.
A
receiving record will not allow for either a current
inventory record or a product usage calculation without
further paperwork as does the beginning and ending inventory
record mentioned earlier
(SD BQA/CMP Form 510 - Animal
Health Products Receiving Record). However, a
receiving record on all animal health products will be
sufficient for the SD BQA/CMP Program.
Several pharmaceutical sales companies have developed
computer programs to control all animal health product
inventory records. The product is recorded at the chute at
the time of administration via a chute side computer
terminal or manually from a handwritten system consisting of
an individual treatment card or a processing work order
form.
