1. A system comprising:

  • at least one device processor; and

    a machine readable storage device storing a pharmaceutical alert speech engine that executes on one or more of the at least one device processor, the pharmaceutical alert speech engine including;

    a medical history interface engine that accesses a medical history repository, the medical history repository storing medical history information, the medical history information being associated with a plurality of patients;

    an audio data receiving engine that receives event audio data, the event audio data being based on verbal utterances, the verbal utterances being associated with a pharmaceutical event, the pharmaceutical event being associated with at least one of the patients;

    a recognition engine that obtains at least one text string, wherein the at least one text string matches at least one interpretation of the received event audio data, wherein the obtaining the at least one text string includes transforming physical audio data into electrical data via an input device, the obtaining the at least one text string is based on information obtained from a pharmaceutical speech repository, the obtaining the at least one text string is based on information obtained from a speech accent repository, and the obtaining the at least one text string is based on a drug matching function, wherein the at least one text string is associated with a pharmaceutical drug, wherein the drug matching function includes an alternative drug matching function that determines the at least one text string, wherein the determining the at least one text string includes determining a name that is associated with an alternative drug, wherein the alternative drug is associated with the pharmaceutical drug;

    a record retrieval engine that obtains medical history information, the obtained medical history information being associated with the at least one of the patients;

    an adverse drug event (ADE) scanning engine that determines, via at least one of the at least one device processor, one or more adverse drug event alerts, the determining the one or more ADE alerts being based on results of a matching operation that compares a first set of information with ADE attributes, the determining the one or more ADE alerts including receiving the ADE attributes from an ADE repository, wherein the first set of information includes the at least one text string and includes medical history attributes which are associated with the at least one of the patients, the ADE repository being hosted on another system that is configured separately from a hosting system that hosts the medical history repository; and

    an audio data output interface engine that initiates a transmission of an audio alert to an audio output device, wherein the audio alert is associated with the one or more ADE alerts.
