Description
Compare recorded service dates with supplied source dates and verification flags.
Pharmacy administration separates inventory, document identity, authorization, service timing and financial records from clinical decisions. Matching labels or a positive local predicate can reconcile supplied metadata without authenticating medicine, establishing lawful supply or determining appropriate care.
Compare recorded service dates with supplied source dates and verification flags.
When to use this tool
Use Service Record Source Gap when checking the stated pharmacy record, inventory, timing, coverage or cost convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter serviceIds, recordedDates, sourceDates, sourceVerified. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read dateMismatches, unverifiedRecords, verifiedDateMatches. Use the output convention below.
Compare recorded service dates with supplied source dates and verification flags. Require aligned arrays and real date-only strings; count mismatches, unverified records and records with both date equality and sourceVerified true.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| serviceIds | Service Ids | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| recordedDates | Real Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD strings, years 0000-9999. | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| sourceDates | Real Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD strings on the same basis; not authenticated sources. | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| sourceVerified | Supplied source-verification flags; the tool does not authenticate records. | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| dateMismatches | Date Mismatches | Required. Safe integer. |
| unverifiedRecords | Unverified Records | Required. Safe integer. |
| verifiedDateMatches | Verified Date Matches | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Verification flags and source records are supplied; this does not authenticate a service, establish clinical quality or assess legal record sufficiency.
- 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.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified medicine/service records and applicable professional procedures; consult a qualified pharmacist or other appropriate professional for clinical, legal or safe-supply decisions.
