Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating the dispensing of a medication from a dispensing station by using information from a dispensing event to instruct the dispensing station to dispense the medication. A dispensing event is received, which is associated with an order for an individual. The dispensing event is processed, which may include mapping the ordered medication to a table having one or more medications and available dosages, identifying corresponding medications to the ordered medication, selecting one of the corresponding medications, and computing a quantity of the selected medication for administration to the patient. The dispensing station is then instructed to dispense the computed quantity of the corresponding medication.

Abstract: An alert optimizer subsystem for a HIT system modifies, reconciles, and/or prioritizes candidate clinical alerts. The optimized alerts may be filtered, prioritized, enriched, and/or formatted so that the alerts are more relevant and/or more actionable for a system user.
