Pharmacy predictive analytics

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• determining that a new patient has been admitted to a healthcare facility;
• in response to the new patient being admitted to the healthcare facility:
• determining a current device location of a locator device attached to an automated dispensing machine;
• determining a patient location of the new patient relative to the current device location;
• retrieving diagnostic information associated with the new a personal information from a patient upon admission of the patient to a healthcare facility, wherein the personal information comprises a symptom;
• retrieving a diagnostic based on the symptom;
• determining historical medication prescribing patterns of a plurality of physicians associated with an area corresponding to the current device location or the patient location, the plurality of physicians including a physician associated with the new patient;
• providing the current device location, the patient location, the diagnostic information for the new patient, and the historical medication prescribing patterns to a neural network;
• determining, from the neural network, an anticipated medication prescription for the patient based on providing, to the neural network, the current device location and the patient location, the personal information for the patient, the diagnostic information, and the historical medication prescribing patterns, wherein the anticipated medication prescription also being determined based on a medication being available through an approved formulary;
• causing, responsive to determining the anticipated medication prescription, a delivery of a first dose and subsequent supply of a medication from the anticipated medication prescription in the automated dispensing machine;
• and
• storing the first does and subsequent supply of the medication in a storage drawer of the automated dispensing machine.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor in a computer cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• determining that a new patient has been admitted to a healthcare facility;
• in response to the new patient being admitted to the healthcare facility:
• determining a current device location of a locator device attached to an automated dispensing machine;
• determining a patient location of the new patient relative to the current device location;
• retrieving diagnostic information associated with the new a personal information from a patient upon admission of the patient to a healthcare facility, wherein the personal information comprises a symptom;
• retrieving a diagnostic based on the symptom;
• determining historical medication prescribing patterns of a plurality of physicians associated with an area corresponding to the current device location or the patient location, the plurality of physicians including a physician associated with the new patient;
• providing the current device location, the patient location, the diagnostic information for the new patient, and the historical medication prescribing patterns to a neural network;
• determining, from the neural network, an anticipated medication prescription for the patient based on providing, to the neural network, the current device location and the patient location, the personal information for the patient, the diagnostic information, and the historical medication prescribing patterns, wherein the anticipated medication prescription also being determined based on a medication being available through an approved formulary;
• and
• causing, responsive to determining the anticipated medication prescription, a delivery of a first dose and subsequent supply of a medication from the anticipated medication prescription in the automated dispensing machine, and storing of the first dose and subsequent supply of the medication in a storage drawer of the automated dispensing machine.
