Abstract
The disclosed system identifies a preparation status of a first and second medication. Based on the delivery time and the completion time for the second medication, the system determines whether the first medication should be delivered prior to delivering the second medication and, when determining that the second medication should delivered prior to delivering the first medication, a notification to deliver the second medication before delivering the first medication is sent to a display device.
Claims20
A system for managing a delivery of prepared medications, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a machine-readable memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an identification of a first medication indicated for delivery to a first location within a healthcare facility, the identification of the first medication being received from a reader device and including information obtained from an active identification device affixed to a container of the first medication, the active identification device configured to automatically transmit the information wirelessly to the reader device when within a proximity of the reader device without a further action taken by a participant;
- identifying a preparation status of a second medication designated for delivery to a second location within the healthcare facility;
- determining delivery times and priorities for the first medication and the second medication, and a completion time for the second medication;
- determining, based on the delivery times and priorities for the first medication and the second medication and the completion time for the second medication, whether the second medication should be delivered prior to delivering the first medication;
- and
- providing, for display at a display device, when determining that the second medication should be delivered prior to delivering the first medication, a notification indicating the second medication should be delivered before delivering the first medication.
