  External medication is a feature of the IS-HMED Clinical System in SAP. It allows healthcare providers to manage and track medications that are prescribed to patients from outside sources, such as pharmacies or other healthcare providers. This feature helps to ensure that all medications prescribed to a patient are tracked and accounted for, and that the patient is taking the correct medications.
