When is two-person verification required for the Drug Count?

ALIS uses two-person verification in specific Drug Count and medication inventory workflows to support accuracy, accountability, and audit readiness.

During Drug Count Final Submission

Two-person verification is always required to complete and submit a Drug Count.

This includes:

• Person 1: The user performing the count
• Person 2: A second staff member acting as witness

Both users must authenticate using their ALIS passwords before the count can be submitted. 

During Medication Destruction

Two-person verification is also always required when recording Destroy Medication transactions.

This ensures that medication removal from inventory is reviewed and confirmed by a second staff member before it is saved. 

During Refills and Adjustments (Optional Setting)

In some communities, two-person verification is also required for Refill and Adjust transactions. This requirement is determined by community Drug Count Settings configuration. 

When enabled:

• A second staff member must review and authenticate the transaction.
• The action must be approved before it is saved in ALIS.
