Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for device tracking and geofencing reporting are disclosed herein. An apparatus (e.g., smart radio) carried by a worker includes location tracking and/or machine-to-machine communication components and a speaker. A machine in a work facility that does not otherwise include local, short-range reporting apparatus (e.g., a speaker) is equipped with a sensor suite configured to detect issues therewith. As a worker carrying a smart radio walks by a machine with a detected issue requiring repair or maintenance, the smart radio issues an auditory notification describing the issue, which enables the worker to stop and address the issue while they are in the local area of the machine. The smart radio thus operates as a speaker for the machine.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing rebate claim validation. A drug manufacturer or associated computer may receive rebate claims from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). The manufacturer should not be obligated to pay the rebate if the associated prescription drug was initially sold by the manufacturer under a discount program such as 340B. However, manufacturers may not be able to discern which rebate claims are associated with a discount program. A service provider utilizes adjudicated prescription claims from a contract pharmacy, and encounter data from a covered entity to validate the rebate claims and indicate to the manufacturer whether a rebate claim is associated with a discount program such as 340B.

Abstract: A central fill facility, drug dispensing system and method are provided in order to efficiently and accurately dispense a plurality of different drugs. The drug dispensing system includes a storage system configured to store a plurality of different drugs including a co-located inventory of a respective drug having both a first portion of the inventory of the respective drug to be dispensed pursuant to a predefined program and a second portion of the inventory of the respective drug that is not to be dispensed pursuant to the predefined program. The drug dispensing system also includes the dispensing station and dispensing control circuitry. The dispensing control circuitry is configured to control the dispensing station such that the first portion of the respective predefined program eligible drug is dispensed prior to dispensing the second portion of the respective predefined program ineligible drug.

Abstract: A computing device, method and computer program product are provided to qualify an instruction based upon the input site of the instruction. In the context of a computing device, the computing device includes data field analysis circuitry to analyze data fields representing a respective instruction that has been received to determine a data field that defines the input site of the respective instruction. The computing device also includes data field comparison circuitry to compare the data field that defines the input site to an eligible input site inclusion listing to determine whether the input site of the instruction is included. The computing device also includes qualification test circuitry to perform one or more additional qualification tests and instruction qualification circuitry to qualify the instruction when the input site is included within the eligible input site inclusion listing and in which the one or more additional qualification tests are satisfied.
