The paper logbook, retired

A controlled drug log is the record of every controlled substance dose and container a practice handles. Fetcher keeps that log digitally: each entry ties to an appointment, reconciles automatically, and stays inspector ready.

Managing a physical controlled drug logbook is time consuming: every dose and every container must be tracked for every appointment. Fetcher replaces it with a full digital controlled drug log.

Log entries auto-populate the necessary fields, so you never deal with simple math or handwriting again. Container, log, invoice, and NDC numbers plus expiration dates are lightning fast to enter.

Common questions.

What does a controlled drug log need to record?

Every dose administered and every container on hand: the substance, quantities, lot and NDC numbers, expiration dates, waste, and physical counts. Fetcher captures each of these per appointment and keeps the running totals reconciled automatically.

Is the report ready for a DEA inspection?

Yes. Because every entry ties to an appointment and reconciles as you go, the audit report is generated in one click and reflects the current, complete record, rather than a logbook that needs to be reconstructed before an inspection.

Do I still need my paper logbook?

No. The digital log replaces paper entirely: entries auto-populate the necessary fields, the math is done for you, and the full history stays searchable and exportable whenever you need it.
