Claim:
1. A computerized system for identifying a medicinal substance and storing data related to the medicinal substance to be subsequently used in generating a label for the medicinal substance, the computerized system comprising: an entry device that is operable to enter data indicative of an identity of the medicinal substance into the computerized system: a storage component that stores the data in a database comprising a plurality of entries that each correspond to a different medicinal substance wherein the data stored by the storage component is associated with an entry designated for a restricted medicinal substance that requires workflow approval before a label identifying the restricted medicinal substance can be printed by a labeling device; and a processing component that generates label content comprising a computer-readable code encoding information that, when read by a code reader provided to the labeling device, interferes with an ability of the labeling device to generate a delivery container label, and requires the workflow approval to be input to the labeling device before the delivery container label identifying the restricted medicinal substance to be applied to a delivery container is permitted to be generated by the labeling device; and an output device that applies the label content comprising the computer-readable code on a primary package label identifying a primary package that stores the restricted medicinal substance from which the restricted medicinal substance is to be removed to prepare a dose in the delivery container to be administered to a patient.
