example 1

[0382] Example 1: Disposal management of propofol.

[0383] Propofol is an opaque emulsion formulation used to induce and / or maintain general anesthesia. In some cases, propofol may be used to sedate patients for nonsurgical treatment or therapy. Such patients can be in the ICU and on ventilators. Propofol is one of the most widely used and discarded drugs in healthcare settings, such as in operating theatres, endoscopy suites, and ambulatory surgery centers. This drug can be given by injection, for short-term use, or by infusion, for long-term use. Discarded or discarded propofol may account for approximately 45% of all drug waste in some instances. Furthermore, propofol may be environmentally unfriendly (eg, toxic to aquatic organisms) and may exhibit slow degradation or decomposition, eg, in water. In some cases, a single vial of propofol may be used for multiple doses in a single patient or multiple patients during consecutive procedures. In some cases, propofol may b...

example 2

[0389] Example 2: Multipurpose medication management system.

[0390] Figure 9A with Figure 9B An example medication management system 1900 is schematically depicted. The medicine management system 1900 may be set up at a medical institution (for example, a hospital). Medication management system 1900 may include multiple cameras for user (eg, nurse) visual accountability during unused / remaining disposal and disposal. Example medications, medication packages, and / or medication disposal units that may be deposited into medication management system 1900 may include pills, patches, liquid medications, liquid medication vials 1660 , and patch removal device 1610 .

[0391] refer to Figure 9A Thus, the medication management system 1900 can hide any medication collection units when not in use (eg, when the user is not logged into the system). The medication management system 1900 may include a user identification camera 1910 configured to identify and track a user (eg, a nur...

example 3

[0394] Example 3: Tablet drug waste.

[0395] The medication management system 1900 of Example 2 may be used by a user 1905 (eg, a nurse) to store tablet medication for disposal. Figure 10A to Figure 10E Shown are camera 1910 and medication discard cameras 1915a (for viewing workstation 1930 when extended out of system 1900 ), 1915b (for viewing other collector areas of system 1900 ) identified by a user of medication management system 1900 during tablet medication discarding and 1915c (for viewing the sharps bin 1970) record an example image (or video representation). In this disclosure, user 1905 is anonymized in the image for identity security purposes. However, the actual images or videos recorded by the medication management system 1900 may not, and need not, anonymize the user in order to accurately track the user during medication dispensing and / or disposal.

[0396] refer to Figure 10A , the user 1905 may approach the medication management system 1900 to log into ...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for medication disposal, e.g., at a medical institution or a pharmacy. For example, a system for medical disposal can comprise a receiving unit configured to receive a medication from a user. The medication can be an unused or leftover portion of a prescribed medication for a subject in need thereof. The system can comprise one or more sensors operatively coupled to the receiving unit. The one or more sensors can be configured to detect the medication received by the receiving unit. The system can comprise an analysis engine operatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The analysis engine can be configured to determine a score indicative of a management of the prescribed medication by the user, based at least in part on (i) the detection of the medication received.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 830,215, filed April 5, 2019, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 873,610, filed July 12, 2019, all of which are Incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Prescription medications (eg, controlled or uncontrolled substances in the form of liquids, patches, pills, etc.) can be provided to patients in a variety of ways. For example, a healthcare provider (eg, a nurse) can retrieve a new medication order from a system (eg, an electronic medication administration record (eMAR) provided by EPIC, Cerner, Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE), etc.). Next, the healthcare provider may obtain the drug from a drug room or pharmacy located within the medical facility (eg, a hospital) and deliver the drug to the patient. The patient can be in the ward, emergency room, or operating room. Next, any unused or leftover medication (eg, due to ...
