Abstract
A system for preparing compounded medication doses is disclosed. The system includes a computerized medication compounding workstation configured to receive a batch compounded medication dose order over a network and retrieve an electronically stored protocol having a set of steps to prepare compounded medication doses specified by the batch compounded medication dose order. The example workstation is also configured to display, on a graphical user interface to a pharmacy operator, information related to the set of steps for preparing the compounded medication doses and receive input related to the preparation of the compounded medication doses including at least medication information scanned from at least one source medication container and a digital image from a digital camera. The workstation verifies completion for each step before allowing the pharmacy operator to move to a next step to prepare the compounded medication doses.
