<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for correlating a medication package with a prescribed medication for a patient. <P>SOLUTION: The medication package accommodates an intended patient medication. The system includes an optical imager adapted to read an encoded symbol character comprising encoded patient information and further adapted to image an attribute of the medication package. The optical imager comprises a two-dimensional image element array, an imaging lens for focusing an image on the two-dimensional image element array and a digital link to transmit a segment of data. The segment of data includes the patient information encoded into the encoded symbol character and the attribute of the medication package. The system further includes a host computer connected to the digital link to receive the segment of data from the optical imager, and a database coupled to the host computer via a digital connection, and the database correlates the segment of data with (a) a patient record and (b) a medication package attribute library. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
