Description
Measure a supplied private-consultation end-minus-start gap.
Pharmacy records distinguish prescribed wording, recorded supply, package counts, consultation timing and product identifiers. A partial-fill balance can reveal a recorded overfill without determining lawful supply, and a lot-code comparison does not retrieve a recall. Preserving a dose string does not interpret or recommend the dose.
Measure a supplied private-consultation end-minus-start gap.
When to use this tool
Use Pharmacy Private Consultation Duration when you already have consultStartMinutes, consultEndMinutes and need to measure a supplied private-consultation end-minus-start gap.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter consultStartMinutes, consultEndMinutes. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedGap. Use the output convention below.
Return consultEndMinutes-consultStartMinutes with signed results accepted.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| consultStartMinutes | Consult Start Minutes | Required. Finite number. |
| consultEndMinutes | Consult End Minutes | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| signedGap | consultEndMinutes-consultStartMinutes; reversed clocks and negative gaps are accepted. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- No actual consultation, chronological order, privacy, clinical adequacy or appropriate duration is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original prescription, dispensing, consultation and product records within the appropriate professional workflow. Use verified clinical and regulatory information for supply or care decisions; local balances and labels do not establish suitability, authenticity or authorization.
