Abstract: Automated healthcare information exchange. The healthcare information may comprise one or more dose orders corresponding to dose medications to be administered to a patient. The healthcare information may be received (e.g., from an EMR system such as a hospital information system (HIS) or the like) in the form of a healthcare information data stream. The information may then be standardized in to a standardized intermediate form. For instance, data may be parsed from the data stream and used to populate a staging table. In turn, data from the staging table may be transformed into an input format specific to a given dose fulfillment client to which the dose order is provided for fulfillment of the dose. Additionally, exception processing. logistical processing, and management functionality may be applied to the dose orders.

Abstract: Centralized support user management in a distributed healthcare information management system. Support user management may include generation of permission data that may be distributed from a central server to one or more local systems. The local systems may execute a healthcare information management application such as, for example, a pharmacy workflow management application. In any regard, central support users at the central server may periodically require access to the local systems to perform, among other activities, technical support or troubleshooting in relation to the application executed at the local system. In turn, provision of permission data from the central server to the local system may allow support users to access the local system with specific permission identification's provided specific ones of the support users. In turn, specific user permissions may be established and support user tracking may be carried out at the local systems.

Abstract: A pharmacy workflow management application with improved functionality related thereto. The improved functionality may include enhancements to a user interface for maintenance of a formulary at a local system executing the pharmacy workflow management application. The formulary management may include user interface elements provided at least partially based on a user profile. Additional enhancements to a user interface associated with a user profile may be provided for dose order record maintenance using the pharmacy workflow management application. Furthermore, enhancements to triggered scan events for updating a status of a dose order, situation board enhancements related to formatting of the situation board in relation to a user profile, encryption of communication by the pharmacy workflow application, and improved methods of installing updates to terminals of the pharmacy workflow management application are discussed.

Abstract: A system for preparing and managing patient-specific dose orders includes an order processing server configured to receive the patient-specific dose orders, define a queue of dose orders and distribute the dose orders to at least one dose preparation station. The dose preparation station is in bi-directional communication with the order processing server and has an interface for providing an operator with a protocol associated with each received drug order and specifying a set of steps to fill the drug order. Steps to fill the drug order are captured at the station and a display, positionable independent of the station outputs the dose order queue and metrics concerning activity at the dose preparation station. Systems for preparing patient-specific doses and a method for telepharmacy in which data captured while following the protocol are provided to a remote site for review and approval by a pharmacist.
