Embodiment Construction

[0060] Systems, methods, and devices are described for storing and dispensing medication from a dispensing device including a patient-specific bin. A dispensing device, such as a cabinet, includes several boxes for storing and dispensing medications. Some bins are assigned to a patient for exclusive use by that patient, and these bins may be referred to herein as patient-specific bins. In contrast, an item-specific bin of a dispensing device is a bin that is allocated for storing one or more units of medication independent of a particular patient. The medicines stored in such boxes can be used by several patients.

[0061] The following description provides example embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention. Rather, the following description of the embodiments will provide those skilled in the art with the necessary introduction for practicing embodiments of the invention. Various changes may be made in the func...

Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are described related to the assignment and management of patient-specific bins. A dispensing device at a healthcare facility may include a number of bins for storage of medical supplies, with some of the bins designated as patient-specific bins allocated to be assigned to patients for storage of their medications or certain other supplies. A central server computer system, in communication with a computer of the dispensing device, may monitor and assign current and future patient-specific use of the bins for the dispensing device. The assignment and management of patient-specific bins may be performed by devices distributed through the system.
