Publication number: 20250095817Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided that may enable an individual to retrieve one or more prescription products (e.g., product refills) from a self-service retrieval location such as a counter, drive-thru, drop box, or kiosk. A unique-machine readable code may be associated with a particular one or more prescription products (e.g., associated with a medical prescription of a patient). The unique machine-readable code may be provided to a computing device of the individual, along with an anticipated time of preparedness of the one or more products for retrieval at the retrieval location. Identification of the unique machine-readable code may result in dispensing of the one or more prescription products associated at the retrieval location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Igor Gershfang, Nimesh S.

Patent number: 12243015Abstract: A method and system may provide an automated pharmacy processing system which automatically processes an electronic prescription by converting the electronic prescription into a pharmacy prescription record. In this way, an electronic prescription can be filled by a pharmacist without manual data entry. The system receives an electronic prescription and compares data from the electronic prescription with entries in one or more pharmacy database(s). When there is a match between the electronic prescription data and an entry in the one or more pharmacy database(s), the system populates the pharmacy prescription record with data from the matching pharmacy database entry. If all of the data fields from the pharmacy prescription record have been populated the pharmacist can fill the electronic prescription.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: WALGREEN CO.Inventors: Mohsin Ovais Ansari, Jill M. Kunicki, Paul K. Wilson

Patent number: 8918385Abstract: Correlating electronic pharmacy data and electronic medical record (EMR) data may include receiving, at a correlation module and from a pharmacy computing network, a query, of a first format, for data corresponding to an EMR of a patient. The correlation module may convert the query into a second format different from the first format, and may send the converted query to another network that has access to the EMR. A response in the second format may be received, and the correlation module may convert the response into the first format and send the converted response to the pharmacy network. The correlation module may be communicatively connected with other computing networks, each corresponding to a different health care organization and each having access to a different set of EMRs. In an embodiment, the first protocol is based on an NCPDP standard, and the second protocol is based on an HL7 protocol.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2013Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Walgreen Co.Inventors: Mohsin Ovais Ansari, John W.

Patent number: 8660859Abstract: In a pharmacy computing network, executing an electronic pharmacy program that requires access to an electronic medical record (EMR) may include determining that the execution of the pharmacy program requires data that is accessible via an EMR of a patient. The EMR may be stored in a different computing network that supports a protocol different than a protocol supported by the pharmacy network. A request for the EMR data may be generated by pharmacy network using a first protocol. A response to the request that includes the EMR data may be received by the pharmacy network using the first protocol, where the EMR data was accessed by the different network using a second protocol. The electronic pharmacy program may be executed using the EMR data included in the response. The first protocol may be based on an NCPDP standard, and the second protocol may be based on an HL7 protocol.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Walgreen Co.Inventors: Mohsin Ovais Ansari, John W.

Patent number: 7801642Abstract: A system and method are provided for checking the accuracy of a prescription fill in a pharmacy that includes activating an electronic scale coupled to a network, providing a user the ability to access a prescription to fill and displaying to the user data associated with the prescription. The method also includes providing the user the ability to cause data to be entered that is associated with a stock container selected by the user, wherein the stock container contains a drug corresponding to the prescription; determining if the stock container selected by the user is the correct stock container to fill the prescription; and measuring a weight of a plurality of pills in the prescription. The method further includes comparing the measured weight to a predicted total weight of the plurality of pills, determining if the comparison is within an acceptable range, and generating an authorization for the prescription fill.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2004Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Walgreen Co.Inventors: Mohsin Ovais Ansari, Michael J.
