Integrated pharmaceutical dispensing and patient management monitoring
First Claim
1. A pharmaceutical monitoring system comprising a communication system, a host, and an interrogator/transmitter unit, the communication system being configured to upload patient drug parameters from a pharmaceutical information source to the host, and the interrogator/transmitter unit being configured to download the patient drug parameters from the host via the communication system, provide patient prompts based on the downloaded patient drug parameters, receive patient inputs in response to the patient prompts, and upload information to the host via the communication system that is based on the patient inputs, patient prompts, and patient drug parameters.

Abstract
A pharmaceutical monitoring system includes a communication system, a host, and an interrogator/transmitter unit. The communication system is configured to upload patient drug parameters from a pharmaceutical information source to the host, and the interrogator/transmitter unit is configured to download the patient drug parameters from the host via the communication system and provide patient prompts based on the downloaded patient drug parameters. The interrogator/transmitter unit may also be configured to receive patient inputs in response to the patient prompts and upload information to the host via the communication system that is based on the patient inputs, patient prompts, and patient drug parameters.

10. A method of monitoring compliance of a drug regimen using a communication system, a host, and an interrogator/transmitter unit, the method comprising the steps of:
-
uploading a set of patient drug parameters to the host via the network;
downloading the patient drug parameters from the host onto the interrogator/transmitter unit via the communication system;
entering patient inputs into the interrogator/transmitter unit; and
generating a compliance report based on the drug parameters and patient inputs. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
