Pill Counter, SIG Code Decoder, BC PHN Validator, and Insurance ID Checker run in your browser.

Drug and NPN lookup reads the official Health Canada catalog on the server.

## Do I need an account to use the tools?

No. Each tool is free. There is nothing to sign up for.

## Does anything I type leave the browser?

Pill Counter, SIG Code Decoder, BC PHN Validator, and Insurance ID Checker stay on your device. Drug and NPN lookup sends the query so PharmFlow can read the catalog.

## Do the tools replace clinical judgment?

No. The tools assist pharmacy staff with format and catalog checks. They do not replace clinical judgment.
