Systems and methods for supporting regulatory requirements for the distribution of controlled and non-controlled items

摘要

Systems and methods for supporting regulatory requirements for the distribution of controlled and non-controlled items such as, for example, non-controlled prescriptions (Rx), medical devices, and controlled substances in countries such as the United States and Canada, are provided. The systems and methods incorporate a license verification module that is configured to perform license validation for a particular order placed for a controlled and/or non-controlled item. In certain embodiments, the license verification module compares order data to historically sorted data and if one or more discrepancies exist, validation is unsuccessful. The license verification module may further query a third party database for updated license information upon validation failure. The systems and methods further incorporate a suspicious order monitoring module that is configured to perform a plurality of checks on the order to identify the order as an “order of interest” that may be further investigated and deemed to be suspicious.

主权项

1. A regulatory and compliance system for verifying customer license data received with orders for regulated substances, the system comprising:
one or more memory storage areas containing stored data related to one or more parameters associated with a plurality of customer regulatory licenses; and one or more computer processors configured to:
(A) receive an order for a regulated substance from the customer, the order comprising order data comprising customer input data related to the one or more parameters associated with one of the plurality of customer regulatory licenses, said one of the plurality of customer regulatory licenses being associated with the customer;(B) retrieve at least a portion of the stored data contained in the one or more memory storage areas, said retrieved portion having been received from a party other than the customer;(C) compare the customer input data and the retrieved portion of the stored data to identify one or more discrepancies;(D) in response to identifying no discrepancies, generate a successful validation report for the order, the successful validation report approving further processing of the order; and(E) in response to identifying one or more discrepancies:
a. request updated data related to the stored data related to the one or more parameters associated with the one customer license associated with the customer input data;b. in response to receiving the updated data, compare the customer input data and the updated data to determine whether the one or more discrepancies remain;c. in response to identifying no remaining discrepancies, generate a successful validation report for the order request; andd. in response to identifying one or more remaining discrepancies, generate an unsuccessful validation report for the order request.
