Abstract
A system and associated method are provided for fulfillment of medication requisitions corresponding to contained medication units. Requisition fulfillment logic may be included to provide decision data to a patient care provider for use in selecting one of a plurality of different fulfillment sites to fill a given medication requisition. A requisition router may route the medication requisition to a selected one of the plurality of fulfillment sites. The fulfillment sites may provide medication requisition metadata (e.g., data relating to the preparation and handling of medication units) to a medication requisition database in corresponding relation to the corresponding medication requisitions fulfilled by the fulfillment sites. The medication requisition metadata may be stored in the medication requisition database and accessed to facilitate enhanced management functionalities in relation to medication units dispensed by patient care providers.
