Abstract
A system, including a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions is provided. The instructions executed by the processor cause the system to retrieve a diagnostic information for a patient, to retrieve a physician information for a physician in charge of the patient, and to determine an anticipated medication prescription for the patient based on the diagnostic information, the physician information, and a medication prescribing pattern stored in the memory. A method for using the system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium including the instructions are also provided.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a locator device associated with an automated dispensing machine;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- determine a patient roster of a healthcare facility has been updated;
- after detecting the patient roster was updated:
- determine a current device location of the locator device;
- determine a patient location of a patient relative to the current device location;
- retrieve a diagnostic information for the patient;
- identify at least one prescribing pattern of one or more physicians, one of the physicians having a prescribing relationship with the patient;
- provide the current device location, the patient location, the diagnostic information for the patient, and the at least one prescribing pattern to a predictive algorithm;
- determine an inventory update for the automated dispensing machine based on providing the current device location and the patient location, the diagnostic information, and the at least one prescribing pattern to the predictive algorithm;
- cause, responsive to determining the inventory update, an adjustment to a current inventory of the automated dispensing machine based on the current inventory and the inventory update, and
- cause, in connection with causing the adjustment or a delivery of a respective medication stored in the automated dispensing machine, actuation of an electronic latch associated with a storage location within the automated dispensing machine.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining a patient roster of a healthcare facility has been updated;
- after determining the patient roster was updated:
- determining a current device location of a locator device attached to an automated dispensing machine;
- determining a current device location of the locator device;
- determining a patient location of a patient relative to the current device location;
- obtaining a diagnostic information for the patient;
- identifying at least one prescribing pattern of one or more physicians, one of the physicians having a prescribing relationship with the patient;
- providing the current device location, the patient location, the diagnostic information for the patient, and the at least one prescribing pattern to a predictive algorithm;
- determining an inventory update for the automated dispensing machine based on providing the current device location and the patient location, the diagnostic information, and the at least one prescribing pattern to the predictive algorithm;
- causing, responsive to determining the inventory update, an adjustment to a current inventory of the automated dispensing machine based on the current inventory and the inventory update, and
- causing, in connection with causing the adjustment or a delivery of a respective medication stored in the automated dispensing machine, actuation of an electronic latch associated with a storage location within the automated dispensing machine.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations, comprising:
- determining a patient roster of a healthcare facility has been updated;
- after determining the patient roster was updated:
- determining a current device location of a locator device attached to an automated dispensing machine;
- determining a current device location of the locator device;
- determining a patient location of a patient relative to the current device location;
- obtaining a diagnostic information for the patient;
- identifying at least one prescribing pattern of one or more physicians, one of the physicians having a prescribing relationship with the patient;
- providing the current device location, the patient location, the diagnostic information for the patient, and the at least one prescribing pattern to a predictive algorithm;
- determining an inventory update for the automated dispensing machine based on providing the current device location and the patient location, the diagnostic information, and the at least one prescribing pattern to the predictive algorithm;
- causing, responsive to determining the inventory update, an adjustment to a current inventory of the automated dispensing machine based on the current inventory and the inventory update, and
- causing, in connection with causing the adjustment or a delivery of a respective medication stored in the automated dispensing machine, actuation of an electronic latch associated with a storage location within the automated dispensing machine.
