In my opinion, using the warehouse concept offers several advantages. 

* We deal with parties, that may or may not be part of the same
  institution.

* The pharmacy stock move is done automatically choosing the storage
  location of the warehouse by default

* It has an address associated to it, and an optional picking
  location

It's a different approach. In vaccines and supplies used in medical
acts, we are dealing with internal locations.

That said, I propose the following:

* Keep the pharmacy field in the prescription form
* Add a field that allows to choose a custom / internal location

Those two would be mutually exclusive. In that case, using internal
pharmacies / dispensaries locations could be done without associating a
party to it. 

This approach would offer maximum flexibility.

Let me know your thoughts.
