Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016003855A1] A medication system includes a control module that determines when a medication is removed from a central pharmacy or a medication base station. The medication is carried by the healthcare professional and/or placed in a mobile workstation. A remote medication database, separate from a central inventory database associated with the healthcare facility, stores information about a total stock of the medication and respective stock quantities of the medication located in the central pharmacy, in the medication base station, carried by the healthcare professional, and/or placed in the mobile workstation. The total stock and the respective stock quantities are updated by the control module in response to a determination that the medication was removed from the central pharmacy or the medication base station. The control module updates the remote medication database in response to the medication being administered and updates the central inventory database.
