  • Publication number: 20210343386
    Abstract: A method for detecting diversion may include receiving, from a dispensing cabinet including medication, data associated with a plurality of individuals accessing the dispensing cabinet to retrieve and/or return the medication. Diversion of the medication may be detected by at least applying, to at least a portion of the data received from the dispensing cabinet, a machine learning model trained to detect diversion. An identity of a first individual responsible for the diversion may be determined based on the data received from the dispensing cabinet. In response to the determination of the first individual as being responsible for the diversion, an investigative workflow may be triggered at the dispensing cabinet. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including apparatuses and computer program products, are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210133201
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and tracking diverters of controlled medications. A system may receive signals indicative of medication dispensing activities by one or more health care providers such as nurses, physicians, or pharmacists. Based on the received signals, the system may determine suspected diverters and provide a graphical interface identifying corresponding factors related to usage, waste, dosage, or other factors associated with the suspected diverters. The graphical interface may provide a list of top diverters and display dispensing transactions performed at a dispensing device.

  • Publication number: 20210103871
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating safe use of a medical device is provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indication that a user has entered a set of parameters into a medical device to provide a medical treatment to a patient, receiving a history of previous medical treatment provided to the patient using the medical device, generating one or more alternative parameters for providing the medical treatment to the patient based on the set of parameters and the received history of previous medical treatment, causing, based on the generating of the one or more alternative parameters, a locking of the medical device to restrict operation of the medical device until an override of the lock is received, providing a notification for display to the user regarding the alternative parameters.

  • Patent number: 10915604
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and tracking diverters of controlled medications. A system may receive signals indicative of medication dispensing activities by one or more health care providers such as nurses, physicians, or pharmacists. Based on the received signals, the system may determine one or more factor scores for each health care provider. The factor scores may be numerical indicators of potential diversion for corresponding factors related to usage, waste, dosage, or other factors. The factor scores may be combined to determine a total diversion score for each of one or more potential diverters.

  • Patent number: 10867265
    Abstract: Methods for facilitating safe use of a medical item are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first identifier for a medical entity located in an institution. The medical entity includes at least one of a patient, medical device, medical location, or medical item. The method also includes receiving a second identifier for a first course of action associated with the medical entity. The method further includes generating, based on a history of the medical entity and the first course of action associated with the medical entity, a second course of action for the medical entity, and providing a notification to a device indicating the second course of action. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
