Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for inventory administration and monitoring of medicines and pharmaceuticals from a pharmacy and medicinal administration facility for use in correctional facilities, such as in prisons. Information related to past medical history of a patient may be reviewed while simultaneously reviewing a prescription written for the same patient. Prescription filling tasks can also be controlled, such as printing labels for medication in batches to assist with the shipment of medication to prison units. Compliance records associated with medicinal administration of prescribed medications to patients can also be maintained.
