Abstract
Various aspects described herein relate to presenting drug dispensing information. Data related to a plurality of dispensing events initiated by one or more employees, of an electronic drug dispensing system can be received. A set of dispensing events of the plurality of dispensing events can be determined as constituting possible misappropriation of drugs by the one or more employees. An alert related to the set of dispensing events can be provided based on determining that the set of dispensing events constitute possible misappropriation of drugs.

1-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for processing drug dispensing data to determine a possible drug misappropriation, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a distributed analytics system, drug dispensing data from one or more dispensing logs, the one or more dispensing logs identifying at least one of:
- at least one employee of a plurality of employees requesting dispensing of a drug, patient information regarding a patient, the drug being dispensed, or an amount of the drug being dispensed;
- identifying, by the distributed analytics system, a drug wasting event by the at least one employee of the plurality of employees based at least in part on the one or more dispensing logs, the drug wasting event comprising an event where the drug is dispensed but not administered to the patient;
- determining, by the distributed analytics system, that the drug wasting event constitutes a drug misappropriation event based on at least one of:
- one or more rules applied by a rule applying component of the distributed analytics system, or
- a pattern analysis applied by a data patterning component of the distributed analytics system;
- and
- causing to display, by the distributed analytics system, an alert on a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the alert includes an identification of the drug misappropriation event.
A system for processing drug dispensing data to determine a possible drug misappropriation, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one storage comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a distributed analytics system, drug dispensing data from one or more dispensing logs, the one or more dispensing logs identifying at least one of:
- at least one employee of a plurality of employees requesting dispensing of a drug, patient information regarding a patient, the drug being dispensed, or an amount of the drug being dispensed;
- identifying, by the distributed analytics system, a drug wasting event by the at least one employee of the plurality of employees based at least in part on the one or more dispensing logs, the drug wasting event comprising an event where the drug is dispensed but not administered to the patient;
- determining, by the distributed analytics system, that the drug wasting event constitutes a drug misappropriation event based on at least one of:
- one or more rules applied by a rule applying component of the distributed analytics system, or
- a pattern analysis applied by a data patterning component of the distributed analytics system;
- and
- causing to display, by the distributed analytics system, an alert on a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the alert includes an identification of the drug misappropriation event.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for processing drug dispensing data to determine a possible drug misappropriation, the operations comprising:
- receiving, by a distributed analytics system, drug dispensing data from one or more dispensing logs, the one or more dispensing logs identifying at least one of:
- at least one employee of a plurality of employees requesting dispensing of a drug, patient information regarding a patient, the drug being dispensed, or an amount of the drug being dispensed;
- identifying, by the distributed analytics system, a drug wasting event by the at least one employee of the plurality of employees based at least in part on the one or more dispensing logs, the drug wasting event comprising an event where the drug is dispensed but not administered to the patient;
- determining, by the distributed analytics system, that the drug wasting event constitutes a drug misappropriation event based on at least one of:
- one or more rules applied by a rule applying component of the distributed analytics system, or
- a pattern analysis applied by a data patterning component of the distributed analytics system;
- and
- causing to display, by the distributed analytics system, an alert on a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the alert includes an identification of the drug misappropriation event.
