Abstract

A surveillance system for monitoring the dispensing of prescribed medication to insure that the proper patient is, in fact, being administered the prescribed medication and dosage, and that the patient for whom the medication is prescribed is so identified, before the medication is administered. To assure that the proper patient is receiving the prescribed medication, both a photograph and a description of the medication and dosage is imprinted on a label affixed to any means used to transport the medication to the patient. The label may also contain other vital patient information such as patient allergies and anticipated adverse reactions to the medication and other instructions for the well being of the patient.
