Abstract
Medical item usage is monitored, and a number of new items to store in a dispensing device is determined. A first maximum number of items that can be stored in a first compartment of the dispensing device is determined based on a volumetric space of an item unit loaded into the first compartment, and a second maximum number of items that can be stored in a second compartment is determined based on the determined first maximum number, the volumetric space of the respective item unit loaded into the first compartment, and a change of volume between the first and second compartments and, when the number of new item units to store in the dispensing device exceeds the first maximum number of items that can be stored the first compartment, the second compartment is assigned for storage of new item units, and a notification is sent regarding the assignment.
