Abstract: A system for dispensing medication and integrated data management which can include a medical office system with at least one computer which can be linked to at least one server and a central system through a network. The medical office computer also can communicate with at least one controlled dispenser unit, thereby regulating the dispensing of medication. Information pertaining to patients and/or medications can be transmitted and received by each system component.

Abstract: A computerized medication dispensing station that addresses anesthesia medication management and tracking problems is disclosed. Medications, including narcotic and non-narcotic, and supplies for use in anesthesia, are stored in secured, semi-secured, and unsecured containers of a mobile station. A computer housed in the station is used to track the anesthesiology items that have been removed from the station. For each item removed, the time of removal, who removed it, and to whom it was administered is tracked. Items that are not administered to a patient are returned to the pharmacy or wasted (i.e., disposed in accordance with regulations). Each type of event (administration to a patient, return, or waste) is documented so that a health care institution can track usage of items, including narcotic medications, for use in anesthesia.
