Cerner - scan on dispense

Hello, reaching out to ask about scan on dispense functions for Cerner. I cover a health system with both Epic and Cerner sites - the Epic sites have the 'dispense prep' and 'dispense check' functions that require scanning during technician prep and pharmacist check. The Cerner sites however have a completely manual process, no scanning required. Are there any Cerner sites that currently have a scanning process in place before meds leave the pharmacy? If so is that through Cerner, or through an external platform such as PharmacyKeeper? Thanks - Erin Cagadas
