Claim One:
1. A system for medical dose preparation management, the system comprising: an imaging device having an imaging field encompassing a medical dose preparation staging region, the imaging device being operable to output digital image data of the imaging field including the medical dose preparation staging region; a processor in operative communication with the imaging device to receive the digital image data of the imaging field; a display in operative communication with the processor to receive the digital image data of the imaging field and display a corresponding image of the imaging field that is perceivable by a user, wherein the processor is operable to process the digital image data to identify at least one region of interest within the imaging field corresponding to at least one medication receptacle disposed in the medical dose preparation staging region, wherein the processor is operable to analyze the digital image data to identify the at least one region of interest by comparing the digital image data to a background image of the medical dose preparation staging region that does not include any medication receptacle in the medical dose preparation staging region, and wherein the at least one region of interest is defined by a bounding area that is visually differentiated in relation to said corresponding image on the display by the processor in a manner visually perceivable by the user; a user control device controllable by the user and in operative communication with the processor to initiate the capture of medical dose preparation image data from the digital image data at the processor, wherein the medical dose preparation image data includes image data corresponding to at least a portion of the at least one region of interest defined by the bounding area that is visually differentiated in relation to said corresponding image on the display, and that excludes other image data corresponding with another portion of the imaging field; and a memory in operative communication with the processor to receive and store the medical dose preparation image data.
