Abstract
One or more embodiments include a method of delivering a pharmaceutical product via a medium. The pharmaceutical product is associated with the medium and the medium assumes different values based on predetermined business rules. The method includes generating data in a database associated with a central computing station where the data identifies the medium and the product associated with the medium. The database is provisioned with the rules that determine the value of the medium. In response to the holder presenting the medium to a provider of the product for purposes of obtaining the product, a communication from the provider is received identifying the medium. A value for the medium is established based on the rules provisioned in the database. The value of the medium is updated, and that updated value is recorded in the database in response to the provider providing the product to the holder of the medium.
