Optimized Pharmacy Queue Engine: Resilient Demographics & Live Dispensing Flow

Modern institutional pharmacies and outpatient dispensaries rely on fast, deterministic queue processing to dispense prescription medications safely.

Medizys has upgraded its Pharmacy Dispensing Queue Endpoint (/api/v1/pharmacy/queue), standardizing patient demographic queries around canonical Date of Birth records (u.dob) with automatic edge age derivation.

Key Enhancements

Schema Integrity: Harmonized patient query fields to use the canonical date of birth (u.dob) across all queue states.

Defensive Edge Derivation: Dynamically derives patient age with defensive fallbacks, preventing 500 exceptions on legacy or minimal user profiles.

Sub-Millisecond Queue Latency: Indexed queries by facility_id and created_at ensure instant dispensing list updates.
