  • Patent number: 11923061
    Abstract: A variable dose dispensing system may include a processor and memory. The processor secures a first container including a first dosage form of medication in a first location and a second container including a second dosage form of the medication in a second location within an automated dispensing device. The processor also receives a selection identifying an order for the medication, the order including at least a maximum amount to administer and determines that the first dosage form and the second dosage form are sufficient to provide the maximum amount. The processor also selects the first dosage form as preferable over the second dosage form based on one or more determined characteristics of the first dosage form and of the second dosage form and activates the automated dispensing device to permit access to the first location.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11610658
    Abstract: A variable dose dispensing system may include a processor and memory. The processor may receive a request for a variable dose order of a medication, such as from a user. The processor may request an amount of the medication to be administered, and receive, in response to the request, an indication of the amount to be administered. The processor may verify that the amount to be administered is within a range of the variable dose order. The processor may determine an item in a local inventory that contains at least the amount of the medication to be administered, and may dispense the item. If an amount of the dispensed item exceeds the amount to be administered, such as by a waste amount, the processor may display an indication of the waste amount to the user, and may transmit a notification of the waste amount, such as to a management server.
