Integrated distribution and communication process and algorithm for providing, handling, distributing or generating reports regarding radioactive pharmaceuticals
First Claim
1. Algorithm for establishing an electronic bi-directional communication between at least a first database and a second database for producing delivery and monitoring of an isotope irradiated nuclear medicine, said algorithm comprising:
- a) sending information regarding the isotope irradiated nuclear medicine from a first database to a second database and which information may be data pertaining to the production or delivery of the nuclear medicine or the use thereof or in the handling and disposition of any implement used in connection therewith which might have been irradiated as a result thereof; and
b) terminating the sending of information by the first database.

Abstract
An integrated process and algorithm enabling that process in the handling, providing, distribution or generating reports relating to radioactive isotope irradiated nuclear medicine, and particularly, radioactive pharmaceuticals, including maintenance of data with integrated data communications occurring between at least two or more databases, such as that, for example, a radioactive pharmaceutical supplier and a user of said radioactive pharmaceuticals. Acquisition of data by the pharmacy or the end user can be automatically electronically transmitted to the other, and the required governmental reports dealing with radioactive pharmaceuticals can then be generated automatically acquired data and transmitted to required governmental agencies. The algorithm and process also provide for transmitting data to and receiving process data from associated third parties necessary in connection therewith, including, for example, quality control personnel and the like. The process and algorithm also provide for transmitting data from a remote source and transmitting data to a remote source via non-hard-wired communication.

9. Algorithm for establishing bi-directional communication regarding an isotope irradiated medicine between at least a first database and a second database with an operator at least at one of said databases for dealing with an isotope irradiated nuclear medicine related item, said algorithm comprising:
-
a) a step for establishing a link between the two databases;
b) a step for transmitting information about the isotope irradiated nuclear medicine related item from a first database to a second database enabling a response from said second database back to said first database regarding the production, delivery or monitoring of the nuclear medicine or any implement used therewith which could have been irradiated;
c) electronically determining the mode of information handling at the second database;
d) a step for transmitting information from said first database to said second database regarding the nuclear medicine or any implement used therewith; and
e) a step for sending a termination message from at least the database where transmission is occurring to the other database. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A process generating computer based algorithm for integrating the acquisition and transmission of data with respect to radioactive pharmaceuticals between a first database at a first location containing data relating to such radioactive pharmaceuticals and a second database at a second location containing data relating to such radioactive pharmaceuticals and which transmission of data also relates to use of such radioactive pharmaceuticals, said process generating algorithm comprising:
-
a) allowing for transmission of data regarding radioactive pharmaceuticals from the first database to the second database for a particular radioactive pharmaceutical;
b) electronically parsing that data at the second database into an appropriate database section therefor and assigning a code for that data; and
c) electronically sending confirmation back from the second database to the first database about receipt of the transmitted data such that a user of the first database is aware that such data was received by the second database and further allowing the second database to be aware of information at the first database sharing awareness of the received data to the first database. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
