It eliminates back-and-forth phone calls, manual spreadsheets, and third-party portals by bringing every delivery request, status update, and dispensing action into one unified workflow.
HomeDelivery is fully clinic-controlled.
Clients never see the underlying logistics — they experience it as a service provided directly by your hospital.
What HomeDelivery Does
1. Accept Delivery Requests from Multiple Channels
Requests can come from:
the MyPet App
client SMS or email
MsgBoard threads
refill reminders
online pharmacy
clinic staff creating a request on the client’s behalf
All requests land in the HomeDelivery Queue inside ClinicOS.
2. Syncs With Prescriptions & Refill Workflows
HomeDelivery ties directly into:
RXGuard
E-DEA Logs (if controlled)
CaseFolder
Inventory
Billing
Workflow
This ensures:
accurate dispensing
automatic stock tracking
safety checks
proper logging
3. Provides Delivery Status Tracking
Deliveries move through structured stages:
Requested
Pending Review
Approved
Being Prepared
Ready for Dispatch
Out for Delivery
Delivered / Completed
Status updates sync to the client automatically.
4. Allows Clinic-Controlled Fulfillment
Clinics decide:
what can be delivered
when delivery is available
cut-off times
delivery fees (optional)
eligibility rules
review and approval requirements
No hidden logistics.
No external branding.
No confusion for clients.
5. Manages Diets, Chronic Meds, Refills & Special Orders
HomeDelivery supports:
chronic medication refills
preventatives
compounded meds (if your clinic offers them)
prescription diets
non-prescription supplies
All items follow normal approval workflows before they can be dispensed and delivered.
How HomeDelivery Works
1. Client Submits a Request
From MyPet or MsgBoard, the client can:
request a refill
request delivery instead of pickup
select delivery window
add notes or special instructions
review the cost before submitting (if enabled)
ClinicOS automatically:
identifies the patient
shows medication history
checks for pending refills
2. Clinic Reviews the Request
The request appears in the HomeDelivery Queue.
Staff can:
confirm the request
request clarifications
deny (with reason)
verify compliance requirements
adjust quantities
attach discharge notes
update the client
If the medication requires provider approval, the system routes the request accordingly.
3. RXGuard & E-DEA (If Applicable) Run Checks
Before approval:
RXGuard surfaces contraindications or safety flags
E-DEA Logs prepare controlled substance logging
Staff verify dose, appropriateness, and clinical history
AI support is advisory only.
Provider verification is mandatory.
4. Dispensing & Preparation
Once approved:
item moves to “Being Prepared”
staff dispense the medication
label is generated
inventory adjusts automatically
E-DEA entry is logged (if controlled)
5. Delivery Fulfillment
Staff update the order to:
Ready for Dispatch
Out for Delivery
Delivered
Clients receive notifications at each stage.
ClinicOS logs:
timestamps
staff member
patient
delivery window
completion status
Everything attaches to CaseFolder.

Important Notes
⚠️ All medication approvals must follow clinic protocols.
ClinicOS cannot approve scripts. All approvals require human review.
⚠️ Delivery Partners may require sealed delivery packages for non-factory sealed packaged (medications, preventions)
Partners may require items (exception of food products) to be in a sealed bag or container for delivery integrity.
⚠️ Delivery does not bypass DEA or state board requirements.
Controlled substances require full verification and E-DEA logging.
⚠️ AI safety checks may miss edge cases.
Providers must review all medication details manually.
⚠️ Delivery availability is controlled by the clinic.
Your clinic is responsible for delivery fees, windows, and policies.
⚠️ Do not use HomeDelivery to bypass in-clinic rechecks or monitoring.
Follow your medical director’s guidelines for refill intervals.
‼️ HOMEDELIVERY CANNOT SEND DEA CONTROLLED MEDICATIONS!
Nothing that is scheduled on the DEA or State controlled registry can be sent via HomeDelivery. PawthosX does it's best to program preventative and alert action into HomeDelivery to prevent this, ultimate responsibility remains with the clinic.
