Component based aggregation of medication orders

摘要

A system for component based aggregation of medication orders may include a processor and memory. The processor may receive display a queue that lists medication orders to be prepared by a healthcare professional, the medication orders indicating component medications that will be used to prepare the ordered medications. The processor may receive a selection of a first medication order listed in the queue, where the first medication order indicates a first component medication. The processor may determine a second medication order listed in the queue that indicates the first component medication. The processor may reorder the displayed queue such that the second medication order is listed adjacent to the first medication order. The processor may notify the healthcare professional of the second medication order, such as by displaying an indication of the second medication order separately from the queue.

1. A system for component based aggregation of medication orders, the system comprising:
a healthcare device configured to dispense a dispensable medication; an electronic device communicatively coupled to the healthcare device and comprising: one or more processors; and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
display a queue listing a plurality of medication orders to be prepared, each of the plurality of medication orders indicating one of a plurality of component medications;receive a selection of a first medication order of the plurality of medication orders listed in the queue, wherein the first medication order of the plurality of medication orders indicates a first component medication of the plurality of component medications; determine a second medication order of the plurality of medication orders listed in the queue that indicates the first component medication of the plurality of component medications; reorder the displayed queue such that the second medication order of the plurality of medication orders is listed adjacent to the first medication order of the plurality of medication orders; determine a first amount, the first amount being an amount of the first component medication to be used to formulate a first batch of medication orders including the first medication order and the second medication order; determine, from a first plurality of medication containers that each contains the first component medication, a first subset of the first plurality of medication containers that contain, in aggregate, a first aggregate amount of the first component medication that is greater than the first amount of the first component medication, wherein the first subset of the first plurality of medication containers is selected to minimize a first excess amount by which the first aggregate amount of the first medication exceeds the first amount such that the first excess amount is less than a smallest container size of the first plurality of medication containers; and dispense the first subset of the first plurality of medication containers from the healthcare device.
