A system and associated method are provided for fulfillment of medication requisitions corresponding to contained medication units. Requisition fulfillment logic may be included to provide decision data to a patient care provider for use in selecting one of a plurality of different fulfillment sites to fill a given medication requisition. A requisition router may route the medication requisition to a selected one of the plurality of fulfillment sites. The fulfillment sites may provide medication requisition metadata (e.g., data relating to the preparation and handling of medication units) to a medication requisition database in corresponding relation to the corresponding medication requisitions fulfilled by the fulfillment sites. The medication requisition metadata may be stored in the medication requisition database and accessed to facilitate enhanced management functionalities in relation to medication units dispensed by patient care providers.

Medication requisition fulfillment system and method

Configuration output for use in configuring a patient care device for administration of a therapy to a patient. The configuration output may include at least one code. The code may be used in the verification and/or indication of at least one configuration data component used in the configuration of the patient care device to be used to administer a therapy to a patient. Additionally, a check code for validation of the entry of the code and/or check code may be provided.

Code for patient care device configuration

A system for preparing compounded medication doses is disclosed. The system includes a computerized medication compounding workstation configured to receive a batch compounded medication dose order over a network and retrieve an electronically stored protocol having a set of steps to prepare compounded medication doses specified by the batch compounded medication dose order. The example workstation is also configured to display, on a graphical user interface to a pharmacy operator, information related to the set of steps for preparing the compounded medication doses and receive input related to the preparation of the compounded medication doses including at least medication information scanned from at least one source medication container and a digital image from a digital camera. The workstation verifies completion for each step before allowing the pharmacy operator to move to a next step to prepare the compounded medication doses.

Medication preparation system

A system for use with one or more sources of patient-affiliated data corresponding with a group of patients. The system may contain a plurality of patient interface devices for interfacing with the group of patients. Each patient interface device may store a database that includes information related to each patient of the group of patients. Each patient interface device may be operable to generate a patient-specific guidance data set that may be used by the patient interface device to interface with a patient of the group of patients. The plurality of patient interface devices may be communicatively coupled to patient-affiliated data and a therapy database via a patient interface device gateway. The patient-specific guidance data sets may be automatically updated.

Systems and methods for intelligent patient interface device

A system for preparing patient-specific compounded medication doses is disclosed. The system includes a computerized medication compounding workstation configured to receive a patient-specific compounded medication dose order over a network and retrieve an electronically stored protocol having a set of steps to prepare a patient-specific compounded medication dose specified by the patient-specific compounded medication dose order. The example workstation is also configured to display, on a graphical user interface to a pharmacy operator, information related to the set of steps for preparing the patient-specific compounded medication dose and receive input related to the preparation of the patient-specific compounded medication dose including at least medication information scanned from at least one source medication container and a digital image from a digital camera. The workstation verifies completion for each step before allowing the pharmacy operator to move to a next step to prepare the patient-specific compounded medication dose.

A system for preparing and managing patient-specific dose orders includes an order processing server configured to receive the patient-specific dose orders, define a queue of dose orders and distribute the dose orders to at least one dose preparation station. The dose preparation station is in bi-directional communication with the order processing server and has an interface for providing an operator with a protocol associated with each received drug order and specifying a set of steps to fill the drug order. Steps to fill the drug order are captured at the station and a display, positionable independent of the station outputs the dose order queue and metrics concerning activity at the dose preparation station. Systems for preparing patient-specific doses and a method for telepharmacy in which data captured while following the protocol are provided to a remote site for review and approval by a pharmacist.

Management, reporting and benchmarking of medication preparation

According to one embodiment, an integrated multi-stage end-to-end cytotoxin handling system includes a first stage for receiving a cytotoxin drug and for preparation of a dose of the cytotoxin drug; a second stage in selective communication with the first stage for further processing the prepared dose; and a third stage in selective communication with the second stage for further processing of the prepared dose. The third stage includes an automated apparatus for sealing the prepared dose in an enclosure. During the entire time from reception into the first stage for drug preparation thereof and to produce a cytotoxin dose to being scaled in the enclosure, the cytotoxin drug remains in a controlled, sealed environment.
