One Platform. Complete Medication Accountability.
Everything your agency needs to move from paper-based tracking to verifiable, audit-ready medication management — without changing how your crews work.
Medication Accountability Ledger
A single source of truth for controlled substance tracking — every movement, administration, waste event, and return — timestamped and signed automatically.
Unit & Station Inventory Views
Real-time snapshots of what's on each vehicle and in each station, with expected-vs-actual tracking for every shift.
Event Logging + Evidence
Attach photos, notes, and electronic signatures to any event. Build a complete, tamper-evident record without the paperwork.
Automated Exceptions & Alerts
NarcTrack flags discrepancies, missed counts, and timing anomalies the moment they occur — not days later when someone notices a count is off.
Reporting & Audit Exports
Generate agency-formatted reports, export audit trails, and share compliance documentation in minutes — not days.
Mobile-Ready Interface
Optimized for tablets and phones in the field. Crews can complete custody transfers, document waste, and capture signatures from any device.
Tap To Track
Your crews already juggle patient care, protocols, and documentation. Tap To Track makes medication custody the easiest part of their shift — one tap, full accountability, zero paper.
Scan / Tap
Tap an NFC tag or scan a QR code on the medication kit, box, or unit — no typing, no searching.
Verify User & Role
Automatically confirm the provider's identity and role-level authorization before any custody transfer.
Capture Evidence
Electronic signatures, witness verification, photos of waste — all collected in one quick step.
Update Custody
Chain-of-custody updates in real time — visible system-wide. No more "I'll log it later" gaps.
Why Crews Prefer It Over Paper
Prevent Diversion Before It Begins
Most agencies don't discover medication variance until it's already a problem. NarcTrack's proprietary investigation engine watches continuously — so you can act early, not after the fact.
Paper logs can't tell you that the same provider has been the last person to handle a medication kit three shifts in a row with unexplained count variances. NarcTrack can. Our proprietary engine continuously monitors medication activity and surfaces actionable intelligence — not just data — so supervisors can intervene early and document thoroughly.
- Automated flags for count variances, timing anomalies, and access-pattern outliers
- Structured case files with attached evidence — ready for internal review
- Supervisor-level investigation workflow with full audit trail
- Exportable documentation for compliance and regulatory needs

How Your Agency Uses NarcTrack
From shift start to audit day — here's how NarcTrack fits into the workflow your crews already follow.
Shift Start — Check Out
ProviderMedic taps the medication kit, verifies contents against expected counts, and signs for custody — all in under 30 seconds.
In the Field — Administer & Document
ProviderMedication administered to a patient. Provider captures dosage, waste, witness signature, and photos — digitally, at the point of care.
Shift End — Transfer & Restock
Provider → SupervisorOutgoing crew transfers custody to incoming crew. Supervisor reviews any variances flagged during the shift before sign-off.
Ongoing — Review & Investigate
Supervisor / AdminLeadership reviews real-time dashboards, investigates flagged patterns, and exports audit-ready reports — no binders, no guesswork.
EMS Medication Compliance & Security
Built for agencies that take medication accountability and DEA compliance seriously. NarcTrack keeps your documentation current, complete, and exportable — so you're always audit-ready.
NarcTrack supports compliance workflows; agencies remain responsible for policy adoption and regulatory adherence.
Paper Logs vs. Digital Medication Tracking
If your agency is still using paper forms instead of an electronic medication log — here's what you're missing.
| Capability | NarcTrack | Paper / Binder Logs | Spreadsheets | Basic Trackers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time medication visibility | ||||
| Digital chain-of-custody evidence | ||||
| Role-based access controls | ||||
| Investigation & diversion workflows | ||||
| On-demand audit exports | ||||
| Automated variance alerts | ||||
| Electronic signatures & witnesses |
The Real Cost of Medication Variance
When medication counts don't add up, the consequences extend well beyond the missing unit. Agencies face a cascade of operational, regulatory, and reputational impacts that compound over time — especially when documentation can't prove what actually happened.
| Impact Area | What's at Stake |
|---|---|
| Regulatory Exposure | Unresolved variances can trigger audits, corrective action plans, and increased oversight from regulatory bodies. |
| Investigation Labor | Without digital records, a single discrepancy can consume 40+ staff hours of manual reconciliation across paper logs and interviews. |
| Operational Disruption | Medication access restrictions during investigations mean delayed patient care, reassigned personnel, and units pulled from service. |
| Reputation & Trust | Whether the variance is innocent or intentional, the inability to prove what happened erodes confidence — internally and externally. |

Read MoreThe Engine That Sees What Humans Miss
NarcTrack combines real-time event scoring with cross-shift behavioral pattern analysis — it doesn't just catch today's anomaly, it recognizes a pattern that started weeks ago.
100%
detection rate across 1,000 modeled diversion scenarios
Every scenario — built from documented real-world diversion patterns — detected without exception.
Repeated Count Gaps, Same Provider
A provider has minor count discrepancies on 4 of their last 6 shifts. Each incident looks like an honest mistake in isolation.
What NarcTrack sees
The engine flags the behavioral pattern across shifts and generates a deviation alert before any supervisor would notice.
Waste Without a Witness
A medication waste event is logged but no witness signature exists on record. The field appears complete — the gap is invisible until audit.
What NarcTrack sees
The documentation failure is flagged the moment it occurs, not discovered weeks later during a compliance review.
Off-Hours Access Anomaly
A controlled substance kit is checked out at 2:14 am — outside the provider's typical shift window, with no active dispatch linked to the event.
What NarcTrack sees
The timing anomaly is scored against the provider's normal access patterns and flagged in real time.
Statistical Outlier vs. Peer Cohort
No single incident stands out — but something is subtly off compared to every other provider in the agency.
What NarcTrack sees
The engine continuously calculates standard deviation of medication handling behavior across all providers in real time. When a provider drifts beyond their peer cohort's normal range, a risk signal is generated automatically — no manual thresholds, no rules to configure.
