摘要

The present disclosure relates to a workflow method that may be utilized in pharmacies involving compounding operations. The method may classify prescriptions depending on the need to compound them, and may thereafter assign the location of the different pharmaceutical compositions for pharmacy personnel to retrieve them, or may locate the different chemicals needed to compound the required pharmaceutical compositions if the desired pharmaceutical compositions are not available in inventory. The present workflow method may manage an unlimited number of activities depending on the pharmacy workload, pharmacy layout, and types of pharmaceutical compositions. The present workflow method may increase accuracy and efficiency of pharmaceutical operations.
