Abstract
Provided is a labeling apparatus that generates a label for labeling a drug container. The labeling apparatus includes a code reader that interrogates a computer-readable code, and a local computer-readable memory that stores a drug formulary with a plurality of drug entries. A processing component identifies, from the formulary, a specific drug that corresponds to the computer-readable code read by the code reader and creates log entries in response to triggering events. The log entries include at least one of system information, user information, drug information, and patient information. And a printer is provided to print label content identifying the specific drug onto a label that is to be applied to the drug container.
