Abstract
A method and system may provide an automated pharmacy processing system which may automatically processes an electronic prescription by converting the electronic prescription into a pharmacy prescription record that may include exception cases. In this way, an electronic prescription for a medication that is not within a formulary of a patient may be filled by a pharmacist without manual data entry. The system receives an electronic prescription and compares data from the electronic prescription with entries in one or more drug utilization rules. When there is a match between the electronic prescription data and an entry in the one or more drug utilization rules, the system may perform a drug utilization review with an alternate prescription.
