Abstract
A method for managing prescriptions includes receiving a patient assessment from a physician at an application server, receiving a prescription based on the patient assessment, determining drug interactions based on the received prescription, sending the prescription to a pharmacy based on the drug interaction determination and validating the prescription. Validating the prescription comprises a three-way match of prescription information stored on a centralized database with the filled medicine container and the bulk container. Prescriptions can be prescribed and patient records reviewed using remote devices linked to the prescription management application server and centralized database.
