Abstract: A computer-based system and method for generating a medication management display comprises entering a plurality of medication names prescribed for one or more patients, with corresponding strength attributes, and alpha-numeric medication symbol attributes, into an electronic data base. An electronically stored correlation list is then accessed to associate the alpha-numeric symbol attributes to graphic symbols. This information is arranged to generate a patient medication chart displaying one or more medication names associated with its corresponding strength, directions, and graphic symbol. Adhesive graphic symbols are applied to the original medication containers that hold the medications to cross reference the actual medications with the chart. The patient medication data may also include administration comments with at least one medication which is visually displayed.
