ABSTRACT:
A computer system and method manages the dispersal and replenishment of medications. Participating health care providers are associated with a code that corresponds to medication units dispersed by a pharmacy. The amount of medication units corresponding to the code and dispersed to patients of the health care providers is tracked. When the amount of dispersed medication units reaches a replenishment threshold, replacement medication units are ordered.
