1. A system for medicine management, comprising:
- a special purpose computer that associates collected data related to a medicine with an identification code that identifies an intended recipient of the medicine;
a database that stores the identification code and the data associated with the identification code;
a special purpose computer that determines whether a combination of the intended medicine recipient, the medicine, a time of administration of the medicine to the intended medicine recipient, and an administered dosage is correct; and
a notification generator that generates a notification and outputs the notification to a user-defined notification recipient distribution regarding at least one of an issuance of the medicine to the intended recipient or in response to a determination that the combination of the intended medicine recipient, the medicine, the time of administration of the medicine to the intended medicine recipient, and the administered dosage is incorrect.

10. A method of providing information about an administration of medicine, comprising:
-
collecting data from a medicine prescription fill for an intended medicine recipient; generating an identification code for an intended medicine recipient and co-locating the identification code with a container holding the medicine prescription fill; creating a record that associates the collected data with the identification code; designating, by a non-medical user, one or more notification recipients for receiving a notification regarding events related to an administration of medicine of the medicine prescription fill to the intended medicine recipient; determining an event regarding at least one of the intended medicine recipient, the medicine, a time of administration of the medicine, a dosage of the medicine, or an administration route; and generating the notification for the designated one or more notification recipients in response to determining the event. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of notification, comprising:
-
scanning an identification code on a container that includes medicine to identify an intended recipient of the medicine; determining in response to the scan whether the intended recipient, the medicine, a time of administration of the medicine, and a dosage of the medicine is correct; and generating a notification for a user-defined notification recipient distribution in response to a determination that at least one of the intended recipient, the medicine, the time of administration of the medicine, and the dosage of the medicine is incorrect. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for medication management, comprising:
-
a device that reads a scannable identification code on a container at a first location where a medication is provided to the container; a device that provides an identification of a person receiving the medication for colocation on the container with the scannable identification code; a first processor that generates an association between the identification and the scannable identification code; a mobile electronic device at a second location that collects biometric data related to the person receiving the medication at a second location; a second processor that compares the biometric data to the identification on the container, and determines the identity of the person receiving the medication; and a notification generator that generates a notification for a user-defined notification recipient distribution in response to the comparison.

21. A system for locating a medication recipient, comprising:
-
a tracking system interface that communicates with a mobile electronic device proximal to a source of medication to receive from the mobile electronic device data related to a location of the mobile electronic device; a location processor that outputs the data related to the location of the mobile electronic device to a location storage device in response to an action performed at the location with respect to the source of medication; an action recording device that receives from the mobile electronic device data related to the action; and the location storage device for storing a record formed that combines the location data with the data related to the action performed at the current location. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
