Publication number: 20210070548Abstract: A pharmacy system and methodology for individually packaged medications and/or supplements assembled into an order for each patient which can be delivered to a long-term care facility or other institution for patient consumption. The process may include receiving a patient's prescription order, automatically dispensing packaged unit doses, and assembling into individually packaged bags for each patient. Various safeguards and measures built into this system and method increase patient safety, eliminate waste, and increase labor efficiency by reducing and/or minimizing the disposal of unused medications and supplements.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: REMEDI TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Kimberly HAWKES, Steven E.

Patent number: 10916340Abstract: An overall pharmacy system and methodology begins with bulk medications and supplements introduced into the work flow, individually packaged and assembled into med pass orders per patient and delivered to the long-term care (LTC) facility or other institution for patient consumption. The process according to one embodiment of this invention begins by converting bulk medications and supplements to packaged unit doses and ultimately individually packaged med pass bags for each patient on a 24-hour schedule. The various safeguards and measures built into this system increase patient safety eliminate waste and increase labor efficiency by reducing and/or minimizing the disposal of unused medications and supplements. The design of the overall system and its individual components allows for physical control of each unit dose package from start to finish without any unit dose package “free fall” in the system. This process is automated and does not rely upon manual sorting.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2009Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: REMEDI TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Kimberly Hawkes, Steven E.
