This invention relates to a monitoring method and system for monitoring the dispensing of medicaments in a hospital from a portable medicament dispensing station. The medicament dispensing station 3 has a first identification means 9 and a second identification means 13 for capturing identifiers relating to an individual wishing to dispense a medicament. A releasable locking mechanism 23 is provided that will allow dispensing of medicaments on appropriated identifiers being captured and authenticated. The identifier data is transmitted to a monitoring unit 5 over a communications network 8 and is stored in a remote monitoring unit memory 7 for future reference. By implementing such a system and method, tampering with the data input to the system is obviated and traceability and accountability are facilitated. <Figure 1> |
