🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install paas-national-prescription-extractor

Basic Usage

from day_supply_national import PrescriptionDataExtractor, PrescriptionInput

# Initialize the extractor
extractor = PrescriptionDataExtractor()

# Process a prescription
prescription = PrescriptionInput(
    drug_name="Humalog KwikPen",
    quantity="5", 
    sig_directions="inject 15 units before meals three times daily"
)

result = extractor.extract_prescription_data(prescription)

print(f"Day Supply: {result.calculated_day_supply} days")
print(f"Standardized Sig: {result.standardized_sig}")
print(f"Medication Type: {result.medication_type.value}")

Batch Processing

prescriptions = [
    PrescriptionInput("Albuterol HFA", "2", "2 puffs q4h prn"),
    PrescriptionInput("Lantus SoloStar", "3", "25 units at bedtime"),
    PrescriptionInput("Timolol 0.5%", "5", "1 drop each eye BID")
]

results = extractor.batch_process(prescriptions)
for result in results:
    print(f"{result.original_drug_name}: {result.calculated_day_supply} days")
