iii. the patient medication system being communicably linked to the remote system through the associated device;
iv. recording information relating to the identity of the package in the associated device or remote system whereby upon engagement of the package and the associated device, the recorded information is comparable with the information of the package to determine whether or not the information of the engaged package corresponds with the recorded information;
v. recording information relating to the identity of the package in the patient medication system or remote system and whereby upon dispensing of the product said recorded information is comparable with the information of the package to determine whether or not the information of said package corresponds with said recorded information;
vi. providing a unique identifier for the associated device and recording the identifier with the healthcare regime of the patient in the remote system to register the associated device;
vii. registering the patient with the associated device in the remote system;
viii. engaging the package of the patient medication system into the associated device;
ix. comparing the recorded information which relates to the identity of the package and which is stored in the associated device or remote system with the information of the package engaged with the associated device to determine whether or not the information of the engaged package corresponds with said recorded information;
x. provided the information of the package corresponds to the stored information relating to the identity of the package, registering the package with the associated device in the remote system;
whereby information is provided to the remote system linking the package and associated device with the healthcare regime of the patient so as to enable authentication and registration of the medication package identity;
xi. providing to the at least one healthcare agency a communication port communicably linked to the remote system;
xii. periodically providing information relating to the identity of the patient and/or the status of the package from the patient medication system to the remote system;
