Systems and methods for dispensing beneficial products |
摘要 |
A dispensing station comprises beneficial products for patients of a health care provider. An inventory database tracks inventory available in the dispensing station. A patient is associated with a prescription record, which specifies a prescribed beneficial product. The patient may provide patient identifying information to the dispensing station, such as credentialed payment information, which may be used to identify a prescription record, authenticate the patient, transfer a payment, and/or dispense the prescribed beneficial product to the patient. The prescription record may be valid for a limited time period, may be restricted to fulfillment within a particular location, and/or may be restricted to one or more specified dispensing stations. The dispensing station may validate the beneficial products before dispensing the products to the patient. |

1. A method for dispensing beneficial products, comprising:
receiving, at a dispensing station from a user, patient identifying information comprising descriptive information corresponding to a patient; identifying a prescription record based upon the patient identifying information received at the dispensing station; verifying, based on a known location of a patient at a time when a prescription is created, that the prescription of the identified prescription record can be fulfilled at the dispensing station, the verification comprising both a time-to-live restriction and a dispensing station location restriction; and dispensing a beneficial product of the prescription to a patient in response to verifying that the prescription record can be fulfilled. |
