Abstract
The disclosure presents a system and method for efficiently capturing, tracking, analyzing, and providing continuous quality improvement in an integrated manner in relation to errors which occur in the distribution of medication to patients through a multi-store pharmacy operation. The system and method include receiving error event data for a pharmacy error event through a first input device at a pharmacy through an input interface, transmitting the error event data to a pharmacy error event database associated with a pharmacy error event computer and storing the error event data in the pharmacy error event database. The system and method may also determine whether the first error event information requires escalation, and transmit an error event escalation message through a communication device to supervisory personnel, as well as tabulate the error event data with the pharmacy error event computer based on a criteria for communicating insight information to supervisory personnel through a communication device. The system and method provide further structural, functional and operational features for implementing these and other features in a multi-store and multi-district pharmacy operation.
