Why this matters
The product only needs public shortage records plus organization-level routing details. Keeping patient data out of the workflow makes the tool easier to evaluate, easier to explain, and better aligned with its narrow monitoring purpose.
Boundary
FormularySignal is not FDA-affiliated and is not a clinical, procurement, inventory, substitution, compounding, dispensing, or legal advice service. It monitors public national-source records only, and local availability may differ.
