    Abstract: Provided herein, inter alia, are methods for storing, dispensing, and/or dispositioning pharmaceutical medication(s). These methods use, e.g., location identifiers that identify the location of pharmaceutical medications in an inventory, which allows the storage of medications in the inventory using non-alphabetical ordering, as is the typical method for organizing a pharmacy inventory. This provides, e.g., a more flexible and efficient pharmaceutical inventory that can be accessed with improved safety and reduced opportunities to introduce errors in the dispensing and storage of pharmaceutical medications.
