Abstract

The embodiments disclosed herein relate to a system and method for processing a prescription through voice-activated commands. The system and method efficiently and effectively process the prescription so that a pharmacy may handle the increasing prescription processing demands.

Claims

1. A pharmaceutical processing system comprising:

a computer with software loaded thereon for performing the following steps of;

receiving a first voice activated command from a user related to a pharmaceutical process;

comparing a first voice profile of the user'"'"'s first voice activated command to standard voice profiles of a predefined library of pharmaceutical commands related to the pharmaceutical process;

identifying one or more pharmaceutical commands from the library that matches the first voice profile of the user'"'"'s first voice activated command;

transmitting an audible signal to the user or an electronic signal to a monitor associated with the one or more identified pharmaceutical commands;

receiving confirmation that one of the identified pharmaceutical commands is correct.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the library of pharmaceutical commands is associated with a frequency and the system serves up a most used pharmaceutical command from a set of identified pharmaceutical commands as an audible or visual signal to the user.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein a set of pharmaceutical commands that matches the voice profile of the user'"'"'s voice activated command is displayed on the monitor as a list ranked from the most to the least used pharmaceutical command.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the most used pharmaceutical command is displayed separately from the set of pharmaceutical commands.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising the step of receiving confirmation from the user that the identified voice activated command is correct.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:

receiving a second voice activated command from the user related to the pharmaceutical process;

after receiving the first and second voice activated commands from the user, comparing the first voice profile of the user'"'"'s first voice activated command and a second voice profile of the user'"'"'s second voice activated command to the standard voice profiles of the predefined library of pharmaceutical commands related to the pharmaceutical process; and

identifying one or more pharmaceutical commands from the library that matches the first and second voice profiles of the user'"'"'s first and second voice activated commands.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the receiving is accomplished with a clip-on microphone, free standing microphone, monitor microphone, or a headset microphone.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the steps are used to search for a patient, drug, or prescriber.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the predefined library of pharmaceutical commands is a database of patient identification information, pharmaceutical information, directions for use information or prescriber information.
