A pharmacy workflow management application with improved functionality is disclosed. The improved functionality may include enhancements to a user interface for maintenance of a formulary at a local system executing the pharmacy workflow management application. The local system may include user interface elements provided at least partially based on a user profile. Additional enhancements to a user interface associated with a user profile may be provided for dose order record maintenance using the pharmacy workflow management application. Furthermore, enhancements to triggered scan events for updating a status of a dose order, situation board enhancements related to formatting of the situation board in relation to a user profile, encryption of communication by the pharmacy workflow application, and improved methods of installing updates to terminals of the pharmacy workflow management application are also disclosed.

Management of medication preparation with formulary management

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.

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

An automated medication preparation system for preparing a prescribed dosage of medication in a drug delivery device includes a plurality of stations for receiving, handling and processing the drug delivery device so that the prescribed dosage of medication is delivered to the drug delivery device and a transporting device that receives and holds more than one drug delivery device and moves the drug delivery devices in a controlled manner from one station to another station. The system is configured so that two or more separate drug delivery devices can be acted upon at the same time.

An automated medication preparation system for preparing a prescribed dosage of medication in a drug delivery device includes a plurality of stations for receiving, handling and processing the drug delivery device so that the prescribed dosage of medication is delivered to the drug delivery device. At least one of the stations includes a peripheral device for performing at least one operation and a transporting device that receives and holds more than one drug delivery device and moves the drug delivery devices in a controlled manner from one station to another station. The system includes a master controller that tracks and controls the movement of the transporting device and operation of equipment at one or more stations. In addition, a system further includes a Bluetooth communications network between the peripheral device and the master controller such that that the peripheral device automatically communicates with the controller when the peripheral device is within a predetermined distance from the controller.
