Abstract:
1. A method of filling a pharmacy product prescription using a pharmacy computing system comprising: authenticating a non-registered pharmacist to the pharmacy computing system at a first computer to initiate a first authenticated computing session; automatically prompting the non-registered pharmacist by the first computer during the first authenticated computing session to fill a customer delivery container with a type and an amount of a pharmacy product based on data of a pharmacy product prescription; sensing with a first sensor one of the amount or type of pharmacy product contained in the delivery container using at least a first sensor after the delivery container is filled by the non-registered pharmacist; automatically prompting the non-registered pharmacist by one of the first computer or a second computer of the pharmacy computing system to inspect one of the amount or type of pharmacy product contained in the delivery container after a first predetermined period has elapsed and after the sensing is performed using the first sensor, wherein the automatic prompting by the one of the first computer or the second computer includes generating a display that initiates an interaction mechanism between the non-registered pharmacist and the one of the first computer or the second computer to remove an influence of prior memory bias of the previous fill of the customer delivery container on the non-registered pharmacist; receiving an input into the pharmacy computing system entered by the non-registered pharmacist viewing the generated display during the first authenticated computing session after the first predetermined period has elapsed and after the sensing is performed using the first sensor, wherein the input indicates one of the amount or type of pharmacy product contained in the delivery container based on inspection of the delivery container by the non-registered pharmacist; indicating a release status for the delivery container based on the first sensor data, the entered input from the non-registered pharmacist, and the data of the pharmacy product prescription.
