Systems and methods for managing medication-dispensing canisters
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform actions for managing canister data, the actions comprising:
- storing a design profile that includes configuration settings usable to configure a canister to dispense a medication;
storing a build profile that includes information associated with a canister built based on the design profile; and
storing a fill profile that includes information associated with filling the canister with the medication.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing canisters used to automatically dispense medication are provided. Canisters are configurable via a design process and a build process to accurately dispense a variety of medications. Design profiles are created and stored by a canister management system, and are federated to workstations used to build and fill the canisters, and to workstations used to dispense the medication. Information related to the build process, the fill process, and the dispense process is also federated by the system. The system also enables the transmission of other types of messages between client applications on the workstations and the canister management system. The system is useful to federate data regardless of a structure of a supply chain used to design, build, distribute, and use the canisters.

16. A method for dispensing a medication from a configurable canister, the method comprising:
-
determining one or more canister configuration settings suitable to configure a canister to dispense the medication; storing the canister configuration settings in a design profile; building a canister based on the design profile; storing information related to the building of the canister in a build profile; filling the canister with the medication; storing information related to the filling of the canister in a fill profile; and dispensing the medication using the canister. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
