Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for selectively processing data transmissions containing one or more medication data intended for a pharmacy, comprising the steps of: (A) monitoring a data transmission of an order entry system, the data transmission having an identifiable source; (B) parsing the data transmission for prescribed information in accordance with a set of configuration rules associated with the source; (C) populating a data structure with data parsed from the data transmission in accordance with the set of configuration rules; (D) testing the parsed data transmission against an order database to determine suitability of the medication data therein for automated handling by a medication preparation system associated with the pharmacy; (E) using the medication preparation system, preparing one or more medications corresponding to the one or more medication data determined to be suitable for automated handling by the medication preparation system; and (F) releasing only those portions of the data transmission that are not suitable for automated handling by the medication preparation system, the released portions of the data transmission being: recorded for manual handling, and sent to a printer for printing, whereby the released portions of the data transmission comprise a filtered output stream at the printer that consists of only those jobs that require manual handling.
