1. A method for management of medicament-type items enabling pharmacy personnel to rapidly and accurately perform repetitive manual tasks of hand-loading a holder having medicament-holding cells with at least one type of medicament, the method comprising the steps of:

  • docking a portable holder having medicament-holding cells with a pharmacy docking station, the docking station including structure to which the holder is temporarily docked during hand-loading of medicaments into the cells, the pharmacy docking station further including circuitry which enables operation of indicators between at least yes and no states to provide visible information viewable on the docked holder indicating the cell into which each medicament is to be hand-loaded;

    indicating the cell of the docked holder into which each medicament is to be hand-loaded by operating the docking station circuitry so that an indicator is in the yes state to provide the visible information viewable on the docked holder proximate the cell into which the medicament is to be hand-loaded; and

    hand-loading the medicament into the indicated cell.
