Medication management

A medication management system comprising:

• a first medication container assembly including a first plurality of individual medication containers, the first plurality of individual medication containers configured to retain a first plurality of medication sets, the first medication container assembly associated with a first patient, the first plurality of individual medication containers respectively including a first plurality of computer-readable identification codes, each individual medication container of the first plurality of individual medication containers including a respective computer-readable identification code of the first plurality of computer-readable identification codes that is different than every other computer-readable identification code of the first plurality of computer-readable identification codes, each individual medication container of the first plurality of individual medication containers configured to retain a respective medication set of the first plurality of medication sets, and each medication set of at least one medication set of the first plurality of medication sets includes a respective group of different types of medications;
• a second medication container assembly including a second plurality of individual medication containers, the second plurality of individual medication containers configured to retain a second plurality of medication sets, the second medication container assembly associated with a second patient, the second plurality of individual medication containers of the second medication container assembly respectively including a second plurality of computer-readable identification codes, each individual medication container of the second plurality of individual medication containers including a respective computer-readable identification code of the second plurality of computer-readable identification codes that is different than every other computer-readable identification code of the second plurality of computer-readable identification codes, the second plurality of computer-readable identification codes mutually exclusive with the first plurality of computer-readable identification codes of the first medication container assembly, and each individual medication container of the second plurality of individual medication containers configured to retain a respective medication set of the second plurality of medication sets;
• and
• a computer system physically distinct from the first medication container assembly and the second medication container assembly and comprising an input-output device system, a processor-accessible memory device system storing a program, and a data processing device system communicatively connected to the processor-accessible memory device system and the input-output device system,
• wherein the data processing device system is configured by the program at least to:
• receive a first input identification code via the input-output device system;
• perform a comparison of the first input identification code to at least one code of the first plurality of computer-readable identification codes and the second plurality of computer-readable identification codes;
• and
• cause the input-output device system to transmit information indicating a result of the comparison.
