First Claim
1. A pharmaceutical compounding system with at least one pharmaceutical compounding device comprising:
- a browser-based interface for receiving input at least relating to compounding from a user,a controller coupled to the compounding device,a compounding control manager residing on the controller to receive compounding order input and generate control commands to the compounding device based, at least in part, upon the compounding order input,an order process control manager in data communication with the compounding control manager to communicate compounding order input to the compounding control manager, the order entry process manager including an order function for receiving entry of compounding order input through the browser-based interface,means for determining an installed plurality of source solutions on the compounding device,means for scanning a bar code of respective ones of transfer tubing adapted to be coupled to said plurality of source solutions,means for comparing the installed plurality of source solutions and transfer tubing with an expected configuration, andmeans for either permitting the operator to commence compounding on the compounding device if the comparison is valid or preventing the operator from compounding if the comparison is invalid.

Abstract
Information management systems and methods can be used with at least one pharmaceutical compounding device. The systems and methods comprise a controller coupled to the compounding device. A compounding control manager resides on the controller to receive compounding order input and generate control commands to the compounding device based, at least in part, upon the compounding order input. An order process control manager is in data communication with the compounding control manager to communicate compounding order input to the compounding control manager. The order entry process manager includes an order function for receiving entry of compounding order input through a browser-based interface. The browser-based interface can include an order entry workstation separate from the compounding device, or a network of order entry workstations separate from the compounding device, or can reside on the controller.
