MAT Inventory Overview

This section provides information on managing your MAT medication inventory and non-pump medication workflows within the Kipu EMR. 

• Receiving MAT Inventory: Learn how to receive pump and non-pump medications into your MAT inventory. Medications received as MAT Inventory has special characteristics that differentiate them from non-MAT medications.
• Transfer Inventory between Locations: Medication Inventory (including MAT Medications) can be transferred to other locations using the Transfer to Another Location transaction type.
• Return to Manufacturer or Return to Reverse Distributor Transactions: These transactions let you record exactly what happened to the medication in case of a recall or if send to a third party for disposal. 
• MAT Inventory: Witness Signature Workflow: You can assign a Witness to every transaction logged in MAT Inventory. These Witnesses must sign off on the transaction before the medication can be reconciled. 
• End-of-Lot Waste Procedure for Pump Medications: When switching between Methadone bottles from the same lot, left-over medication can be safely transferred to a newly opened bottle from the existing lot. However, when a facility has used all methadone inventory from a specific lot number, a special End of Lot Waste procedure must be performed to prevent cross-lot contamination.  
• Pre-Pour [Unit Inventory]: Depending on state requirements, MAT facilities may require doses to be dispensed directly from a pharmacist. Pharmacists usually go to the facility once a week to pre-pour all the doses based on the patient's expected for that week and their MAT orders.
• MAT Inventory and Pumps: Special Scenarios
• Recording Manual Dispenses [Power/Internet Outage/Event]: Kipu EMR allows users to record doses that were manually dispensed during a power outage, internet loss, or another event when the EMR or pumps were not functional.
