Abstract:
A pharmaceutical order verification system and method for an automated pharmacy system is disclosed. A computerized line control application controls a dispensing line, facilitates automated dispensing of drugs into vials, and collects and records data for dispensed drug as well as each verification step performed by a pharmacist. In an example embodiment, pharmacist verification occurs in connection with replenishing the drugs in automated tablet counters and in connection with verifying a specified percentage of orders for each automated tablet counter. During the replenishment process, the pharmacist verifies that a replenishment canister has been loaded with the correct drug in the appropriate dosage and strength. During the order verification step, a pharmacist verifies the contents of vial matches the prescription order data. The line control application tracks the number of orders that are identified for pharmacist verification to ensure verification requirements are met for each automated tablet counter.

Claim (Index 7):
A computerized system for processing vials on an automated dispensing line comprising:\n a server executing programming instructions to:\n assign at said server to an automated tablet counter (ATC) identifier: \n (i) an ATC barcode; and \n (ii) drug identifying data for a drug dispensed from said ATC, said drug identifying data comprises a drug code and a drug dosage; \n assign at said server to a drug canister identifier a drug canister barcode; \n receive at said server a replenishment request comprising said ATC identifier; \n transmit from said server a notification requesting a pharmacist to verify the contents of a drug canister associated with a drug canister identifier; \n receive at said server a pharmacist verification approval for said replenishment request confirming that contents of said drug canister matches said drug identifying data; \n receive at said server filled prescription order data for a plurality of vials filled at said ATC; \n receive at said server pharmacist verification order approval status for a specified number of said plurality of vials; \n route said vial for shipment if said order approval status is approved; and \n route said vial for exception handling if said order approval status is not approved; \n a pharmacist verification station executing programming instructions to:\n display a replenishment confirmation request for said drug canister and display an image of a drug associated with the drug canister; \n receive and transmit to said server said pharmacist verification approval for said replenishment request confirming that contents of said drug canister matches said drug identifying data; \n receive a pharmacist verification request to approve a plurality of vial contents where such verification request includes an image of contents of at least one of said plurality of vials; \n display pharmacist verification approval requests for said specified number of said plurality of vials where said displayed approval request comprises the image of at least one of said plurality of vials; and \n receive and transmit to said server pharmacist verification order approval status for said specified number of said plurality of vials.
