发明名称 MEDICAL EQUIPMENT WITH DIVERSION MECHANISM
摘要 A method for identifying medical diverters includes identifying users having similar job functions. Use data indicative of user access to a medication dispensing system is retrieved and is analyzed to identify periods of use of the system for users. Boundaries of work shifts are determined and users are organized into work shifts based on periods of use. A comparison period is determined. Diversion data indicative of behavior associated with diversion for each user is identified. A diversion score indicative of a likelihood that a user is diverting medication is generated by averaging the data by shifts worked for each user and statistically comparing the averaged data. Diversion scores are combined for a medication type to generate a group score. A consistency factor is determined and an overall score is generated. A determination whether any overall scores exceed an overall threshold is made. Users whose score exceeds the threshold are flagged.

主权项 1. A medication dispensing system for identifying medical diverters, the medication dispensing system comprising: an interior where items are stored; a door providing access to the interior; a locking mechanism configured to lock the door in a closed position, wherein in the closed position the door prevents access to the interior; and a computing device, the computing device comprising: a memory; and;a processor configured to: identify a user pool, the user pool comprising a plurality of users having similar job performance functions;retrieve use data for each of the plurality of users from the medication dispensing system, wherein the use data is indicative of when each user accesses the medication dispensing system;analyze the use data to identify periods of use of the medication dispensing system for each user within the user pool;determine boundaries of work shifts for each user based on the periods of use;organize the use data into work shifts, wherein each work shift defines a contiguous period of time that a particular user of the plurality of users worked;determine a comparison period comprising a time period within which users of the user pool may be compared;identify diversion data for each user within the comparison period, the diversion data being indicative of behavior associated with diversion of one of a plurality of particular forms of at least one medication type;generate a diversion score for each of the plurality of particular forms of the at least one medication type by averaging the diversion data per number of work shifts worked for each user during the comparison period and statistically comparing the averaged diversion data for the plurality of users to calculate the diversion score, the diversion score being indicative of a likelihood that a particular user is diverting a particular one of the plurality of particular forms of the at least one medication type;combine the diversion scores for each of the plurality of particular forms of the at least one medication type for a single user within the comparison period to generate a group score for the single user, the group score associated with the at least one medication type;determine a consistency factor for the group score, the consistency factor indicating a consistency over time of the single user having a group score that exceeds a group threshold;generate an overall diversion score based at least in part on the group scores for each of the at least one medication type, consistency factors for each group score, and a diversion profile of the at least one medication type;determine whether any user's overall diversion score exceeds an overall threshold;flag any user whose overall diversion score exceeds the overall threshold as a possible diverter; andlock any flagged users out of the medication dispensing system such that the any flagged users do not have access to the interior.
