Abstract
A system for integrating and labeling a plurality of tablet orders is described. The system comprises a graphical user interface configured to receive one or more inputs for a plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient. A software module is configured to compile the inputs into an integrated order. The system further comprises an integrated label coupled to a package containing a dose comprised of the plurality of tablets input into the graphical user interface. The integrated label indicates information about the first dose and the second dose.
Claims18
A system for integrating a plurality of prescription tablet orders and labeling the multiple prescription tablet orders, comprising:
- a graphical user interface that receives a first prescription input that corresponds to a first prescription order that includes a first plurality of tablets;
- the graphical interface receiving a second prescription input that corresponds to a second prescription order that includes a second plurality of tablets, wherein the first prescription order tablets are different from the second prescription order tablets;
- a first tablet picture input corresponding to the first prescription input;
- a second tablet picture input corresponding to the second prescription input;
- a first hours of administration (HOA) input corresponding to the first prescription input, wherein the first HOA input includes a first time of day and a first frequency for consuming the first prescription order tablets;
- a second hours of administration (HOA) input corresponding to the second prescription input, wherein the second HOA includes a second time of day and a second frequency for consuming the second prescription order tablets;
- a software module that combines the first prescription input, the second prescription input, the first tablet picture input, the second tablet picture input, the first HOA input, and the second HOA input into an integrated prescription order;
- a filling system that receives the integrated prescription order and fills a plurality of packages, wherein at least one multiple prescription package includes a same time for consuming the first tablet associated with the first plurality of tablets and the second tablet associated with the second plurality of tablets;
- an automated inspection module for performing an inspection of each package to identify the first tablet and the second tablet within each package, wherein the automated inspection includes an inspection module that operates at visual wavelengths and analyzes each tablet color and each tablet shape;
- and
- an integrated label coupled to a box housing the multiple prescription packages, the integrated label indicating information about the first plurality of tablets and the second plurality of tablets, the information including the first tablet picture, the second tablet picture, and at least one drug precaution instruction corresponding to at least one of the first tablet and the second tablet.
A system for integrating a plurality of prescription tablet orders and labeling the multiple prescription tablet orders, comprising:
- a graphical user interface that receives a first prescription input that corresponds to a first prescription order that includes a first plurality of tablets;
- the graphical user interface receiving a second prescription input that corresponds to a second prescription order that includes a second plurality of tablets, wherein the first prescription order tablets are different from the second prescription order tablets;
- a first tablet picture input corresponding to the first prescription input;
- a second tablet picture input corresponding to the second prescription input;
- a first hours of administration (HOA) input corresponding to the first prescription input, wherein the first HOA input includes a first time of day and a first frequency for consuming the first prescription order tablets;
- a second hours of administration (HOA) input corresponding to the second prescription input, wherein the second HOA includes a second time of day and a second frequency for consuming the second prescription order tablets;
- a software module that combines the first prescription input, the second prescription input, the first tablet picture input, the second tablet picture input, the first HOA input, and the second HOA input into an integrated prescription order;
- a filling system that receives the integrated prescription order fills a plurality of multiple prescription packages, wherein each multiple prescription package includes a code, a same time for consuming the tablets, at least one of the first tablets associated with the first plurality of tablets and at least one of the second tablets associated with the second plurality of tablets;
- a box that receives the multiple prescription packages, the box including,
- a front side wall;
- a right-side wall that abuts the front side wall;
- a back side wall that abuts the right-side wall;
- a left-side wall that is between the back side wall and the front side wall;
- a bottom wall that abuts the front side wall, the right-side wall, the back side wall, and the left-side wall;
- and
- a cavity defined by the front side wall, the right-side wall, the back side wall, the left-side wall and the bottom wall;
- an integrated label affixed to the box, wherein the integrated label includes a description of the medications, the first tablet picture, the second tablet picture, the code, and a potential interactions instruction corresponding to at least one of the tablets and at least one other substance;
- wherein the box receives the plurality of packages that correspond with the code;
- and
- wherein one of the walls receives the integrated label.
A method for integrating a plurality of prescription tablet orders and labeling the multiple prescription tablet orders, the method comprising:
- receiving with a graphical user interface a first prescription input that corresponds to a first prescription order that includes a first plurality of tablets;
- receiving with the graphical user interface a second prescription input that corresponds to a second prescription order that includes a second plurality of tablets, wherein the first prescription order tablets are different from the second prescription order tablets;
- receiving a first tablet picture input corresponding to the first prescription input;
- receiving a second tablet picture input corresponding to the second prescription input;
- receiving a first hours of administration (HOA) input corresponding to the first prescription input, wherein the first HOA input includes a first time of day and a first frequency for consuming the first prescription order tablets;
- receiving a second hours of administration (HOA) input corresponding to the second prescription input, wherein the second HOA includes a second time of day and a second frequency for consuming the second prescription order tablets;
- combining with a software module the first prescription input, the second prescription input, the first tablet picture input, the second tablet prescription input, the first HOA input, and the second HOA input into an integrated prescription order;
- enabling a filling system to receive the integrated prescription order and fill a plurality of packages, wherein at least one multiple prescription package includes a same time for consuming the first tablet and the second tablet;
- inspecting each package with an automated inspection module for performing an inspection of the first tablet and the second tablet within each package, wherein the automated inspection includes an inspection module that operates at visual wavelengths and analyzes each tablet color and each tablet shape;
- and
- generating with the software module an integrated label coupled to a box housing the multiple prescription package, wherein the integrated label provides information about the first plurality of tablets and the second plurality of tablets, the information including the first tablet picture, the second tablet picture, and at least one drug precaution instruction corresponding to at least one of the first tablet and the second tablet.
