Benefits of technology
The solution significantly reduces manual labor and costs by enabling automated data management and reporting, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and enhancing operational efficiency in handling radioactive pharmaceuticals.
Problems solved by technology
It must be emphasized that due to the nature of the materials which are being produced, namely radioactive materials, the areas in which the radioactive pharmaceuticals are employed can become contaminated, the implements used in the producing or handling of the radioactive materials can become contaminated and the personnel who are handling this radioactive material equally can become contaminated.
Moreover, due to the serious nature of the radioactivity and the fact that mere contact or proximity can contaminate an individual or other implement or location, very strict controls are employed.

Embodiment Construction
[0072] The algorithm of the present invention is more fully described by reference to the following FIGS. 1-13. It should be recognized that this particular algorithm and method are primarily adapted for use with a radioactive pharmaceutical supplier, e.g. a pharmacy or other facility authorized to acquire and deliver radioactive pharmaceuticals.
[0073]FIG. 1 illustrates the symbology which is used, and to that extent, is self explanatory with regard to data entry and processing of data, as well as a decision point. The decision point typically has more than one output, such that if a decision is “yes”, for example, then one output occurs, and if a decision is “no”, then another output occurs. In the actual algorithm, one can automatically move to a selected routine or sub-routine, illustrated on these various figures.
[0074] Each of the following routines are identified with a description of each routine. To a large extent, many of the steps are self explanatory, and do not require...

An algorithm for generating of a program, as well as an associated method for handling of radioactive pharmaceuticals by a pharmacy so that data may be maintained on the acquisition, dispensing and handling of the radioactive pharmaceuticals and the disposition thereof. The algorithm and method allow for data to be electronically introduced in generally temporal relationship to the performance of physical activities. In addition, the algorithm and the method allow for computerized generation of required governmental reports, which thereby reduces the amount of manual operator attention which would otherwise be required. In addition, the algorithm and method allows for periodic information to be sent to quality control assurance personnel for generation of reports and information by such personnel.
