Abstract

Methods and systems relate to providing varying levels of detail about a pharmacy item to a patient information system based on the capabilities of the patient information system. An intercept device can receive an identifier associated with a pharmacy item based on a scanner reading a computer-readable code. The intercept device can recognize or determine the storage capabilities or limitations of the patient information system, for example by determining various medication data fields that the patient information system uses to store pharmacy item information. The intercept device can use the machine readable code to obtain pharmacy item information that is compatible with the patient information system based on those storage capabilities or limitations and can distribute that pharmacy item information to the patient information system.
