Abstract: A medication guidance system and method that is employed for inventory management and to facilitate the proper administration of medication utilizes a medication blister cassette. A blister housing for receiving a medication package is positioned within a cassette case and is electronically connected to a cassette microcomputer. The blister housing has a plurality of blister housing compartments for receiving a plurality of blisters of the medication package. The cassette microcomputer logs user activities, displays medication information, alerts a user to administer medication, and activates a compartment light for each of the plurality of blister housing compartments. The cassette microcomputer can also communicate with a user computer and a database center through a transceiver.

Abstract: A system and processes for automating and verifying medication order fulfillment and medication administration compliance. A medication package is formed from a package back pane and blister housing, and filled in accordance to a prescription order. The package back pane has a medication housing color pattern that contrasts medication colorings of a prescribed medication, such that a number of empty medication blisters can be determined from a package image matrix generated by analyzing the medication housing color pattern, the medication colorings, and a plurality of reference marks on the package back pane from a captured image of the medication package. The package image matrix is compared to a previous package image matrix in order to determine if the prescribed medication has been administered properly. A unique prescription code of the medication package can program a processor with a scheduling profile, medication order information, and the package image matrix.
