An information system and method that provides the ability to reroute portions of prescription order work between a plurality of organizational units in order to leverage capacity, expertise, or other resources to increase network efficiency.

System for separating and distributing pharmacy order processing

The disclosure presents a system and method for efficiently capturing, tracking, analyzing, and providing continuous quality improvement in an integrated manner in relation to errors which occur in the distribution of medication to patients through a multi-store pharmacy operation. The system and method include receiving error event data for a pharmacy error event through a first input device at a pharmacy through an input interface, transmitting the error event data to a pharmacy error event database associated with a pharmacy error event computer and storing the error event data in the pharmacy error event database. The system and method may also determine whether the first error event information requires escalation, and transmit an error event escalation message through a communication device to supervisory personnel, as well as tabulate the error event data with the pharmacy error event computer based on a criteria for communicating insight information to supervisory personnel through a communication device. The system and method provide further structural, functional and operational features for implementing these and other features in a multi-store and multi-district pharmacy operation.

Integrated pharmacy error tracking and reporting system and method

A method and an apparatus for processing a prescription order are described herein. A prescription label for the prescription order may be generated in response to receipt of the prescription order. The prescription label being generated in a priority order based on a plurality of pharmacy factors. The prescription order may be filled according to the priority order based on the plurality of pharmacy factors. Based on the prescription label, a plurality of graphic displays may be generated to verify the prescription order. The patient may be notified of the status of the prescription associated with the prescription order based on the plurality of graphic displays.

Method and apparatus for prescription processing

The method and system provides a single-role pharmacy product filling workflow that coordinates filling and inspection to increase the accuracy and consistency of released pharmacy products.

System and method for performing pharmacy product filling using non-registered pharmacists

The claimed method and system implements an algorithm for routing electronic prescriptions to one of a pharmacy retail store or a non-retail central filling facility for physical preparation of pharmacy products corresponding to the electronic prescriptions.

System and method of using a non-retail central filling facility to process pharmacy product prescriptions in a pharmacy retail network

The system distributes workload amongst a plurality of pharmacy resources that are connected by a computer network. Work orders are queued at each pharmacy resource and redistributed based on existing workload distribution, capacity of pharmacy resources, and/or product demand.

Method and apparatus for inter-pharmacy workload balancing

Method and apparatus for inter-pharmacy workload balancing using resource function assignments

A system for bin management includes an input of bin quantity, a database of customer-specific data, and a controller. The controller is operatively connected to the database and arranged to obtain the customer-specific data and the input of bin quantity, to use the customer specific data and the input of bin quantity to determine a segmentation of a multiplicity of bins, to create a representation identifying the segmentation of the multiplicity of bins and has a memory for storing the representation. The system additionally has an output of the representation which identifies the segmentation of the multiplicity of bins. Processes for calculating the segmentation of the multiplicity of bins and for storing and retrieving items based on segmentation data are also provided.
