Abstract

A computer network system and method for printing in the pharmacy all information specific to a particular prescription recipient, synchronized in time with the fulfillment of the prescription. The computer network system and method determines what accompanying information to associate with a prescription, integrates that accompanying information into one integrated document, and prints the document, along with a prescription label, in the pharmacy prior to when the prescription recipient receives the prescription. In addition, the systems and methods determine layout of the specific accompanying information associated with a prescription to physically distinct sections of the paper.
