The method, system and user-interface allows alignment of refill dates associated with a plurality of prescriptions, such that the plurality of prescriptions all require refills on the same date, thus limiting the number of occasions on which a customer must visit the pharmacy to retrieve refills of the aligned prescriptions, and increasing the likelihood that the customer will comply with the recommended medication regimen. The plurality of prescriptions are associated with a plurality of customers, for example, living in the same household, being members of the same family, or being patients in the care of a single entity or person.

A method and system facilitate enrollment of a customer in a medication compliance packaging program. The medication compliance packaging program facilitates proper dosing of each included medication dispensing each medication in a customized package and thereby serving as a personalized, prepackaged pill organizer. The compliance package groups all of the customer's daily pills, separated by the day and time of day that the customer takes each dose. The disclosed method and system provide a convenient means for a customer to enroll in the program, select prescription medications to include in the medication compliance packaging, and set up a dose schedule for each medication.

The method, system and user-interface allows alignment of refill dates associated with a plurality of prescriptions, such that the plurality of prescriptions all require refills on the same date, thus limiting the number of occasions on which a customer must visit the pharmacy to retrieve refills of the aligned prescriptions, and increasing the likelihood that the customer will comply with the recommended medication regimen. Further, the method, system and user interface provides various methods of delivery to the customer of the plurality of aligned prescriptions on the refill dates.

A system and method for determining and communicating a volume-based fill pattern for a multi-dose medicament container is disclosed. Pill information corresponding to one or more pills for a patient to be packaged together may be obtained, and non-volume fill factors may be obtained. The volume-based fill pattern may be selected and indicated to be a cuboid volume or a packing parameter fill pattern. Pill and multi-dose medicament container data may be obtained and used to determine a fill pattern that is communicated to a filling entity for execution. The present disclosure may operate in accordance with multi-dose blister packs, and systems and methods of filling said blister packs.
