Methods, systems, and computer program product for validating drug product package content using tiered evaluation factors

Abstract

A method includes receiving a drug product package containing one or more drug products therein; evaluating the one or more drug products contained in the drug product package based on a plurality of drug product evaluation factors, the plurality of drug product evaluation factors including an enhanced scrutiny factor; assigning a validation score to the drug product package based on evaluating the one or more drug products contained in the drug product package, a magnitude of the validation score being greater with decreasing patient risk; and validating the drug product package. Validating the drug product package comprises: validating the drug product package based on a first comparison of the magnitude of the validation score with a first threshold responsive to a presence of the enhanced scrutiny factor and a second comparison of the magnitude of the validation score with a second threshold responsive to an absence of the enhanced scrutiny factor, the first threshold being greater than the second threshold; or identifying the drug product package as requiring manual validation responsive to the presence of the enhanced scrutiny factor.
