First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of managing prescription orders within a network of pharmacy resources connected by an information processing system, the method comprising:
- capturing at a first patient access terminal an image associated with a pharmacy prescription order and creating an image object containing the image at the first patient access terminal;
creating a task object that is associated with the image object, wherein the task object stores information associated with the image object and the prescription order;
routing at least one of the image object or the task object to a first computer associated with a first pharmacy resource; and
verifying that data contained in the task object corresponds to prescription information represented by the image contained in the image object.

11. A patient access terminal comprising:
-
a display unit that is capable of generating video images; a first input device; a second input device; a processing apparatus operatively coupled to said display unit and said input device, said processing apparatus comprising a processor and a memory operatively coupled to said processor; a network interface connected to a network and to the processing apparatus; said processing apparatus being programmed to; prompt a user to enter customer information using the first input device and create a task object based on the data inputted by the user; prompt the user to use the second input device to scan a physical item associated with a prescription order and create an image object based on data from the scan; route at least one of the image object and task object to a first computer based on a criteria. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A pharmacy network system comprising:
-
a first patient access terminal coupled to a network and adapted to create an image object of a prescription order and a task object that stores information associated with the image object, wherein the first patient access terminal is adapted to route at least one of the image object and the task object over a network; a first computer coupled to the network and adapted to create a sensor data object based on a first sensor reading of a sample of a product associated with the prescription order; a second computer coupled to the network and adapted to receive the image object, the task object, and the sensor data object over the network, wherein the second computer is further adapted to retrieve a product reference object corresponding to a characteristic of the prescription product based on a product identifier represented in the image object of the prescription order, and determine whether data of the first sensor data object corresponds to the product reference object. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
