Context is the point
Not guessing from a single line of fax text. The agent reads your formulary and the patient's history before picking a DIN.

Why DIN matching fails without context
OCR-only tools extract text from a prescription and attempt to match it to a DIN by string similarity. This approach breaks in common situations: brand vs. generic disambiguation, multi-strength products where the fax is ambiguous, drugs listed differently in your catalog than on the prescription, and recently approved generics not in a static database. The result is wrong DIN selections, and a potential patient safety risk.
What AutoRx reads before selecting a DIN
Patient profile
Demographics and prescriber from the Kroll queue, who the patient is before any drug decision.
Drug history
Relevant prior fills to inform strength selection and catch therapy conflicts.
Your Kroll drug catalog
Primary lookup, reflects what you actually stock and your preferred manufacturer settings.
Health Canada DPD
Fallback when a drug is not in your catalog; queried in real time, not from a static snapshot.
Mix catalog
For compounding pharmacies, ingredient and vehicle options for no-DIN scenarios.
The lookup order
Your Kroll drug catalog
Match against your local formulary, selects a DIN you actually carry.
Health Canada DPD fallback
If no catalog match, fall back to the federal drug product database in real time.
Exception queue
If no confident match anywhere, route to review with the closest candidates displayed for your team to confirm.

Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is AutoRx's DIN matching?
- AutoRx matches the correct DIN on more than 95% of prescriptions on the first attempt. It reaches that rate by reading the patient profile, drug history, your Kroll formulary, and the Health Canada DPD before selecting a DIN, rather than guessing from fax text by string similarity.
- How does AutoRx choose between brand and generic, or between strengths?
- AutoRx grounds the choice in your Kroll drug catalog, which reflects what you actually stock and your preferred manufacturers, plus the patient's drug history. When a prescription is ambiguous, custom rules you set (preferred manufacturers, DIN aliases, substitution logic) steer the decision, and anything still uncertain routes to a pharmacist.
- What happens when a drug is not in my Kroll catalog?
- AutoRx falls back to the Health Canada Drug Product Database (DPD) in real time, not a static snapshot, to find the product. If there is still no confident match, the prescription routes to your exception queue with the closest candidates shown so your team can confirm before any write.
- Does DIN matching work for compounded prescriptions?
- Yes. Compounded preparations without a retail DIN follow a separate path against your Kroll mix catalog, matching ingredients, vehicles, and concentrations against your existing formulations. Novel compounds route to exception with the closest matches highlighted so a pharmacist can approve or adjust.
