The present invention relates to a system and a method for auditing drug usage within a medical care facility. The system comprises an automated drug delivery system for dispensing a plurality of drugs to medical care providers or users, which delivery system has a plurality of drug dispensing stations located throughout the medical care facility and a centralized archive for storing data. Each drug dispensing station includes a console for inputting information about each transaction involving at least one of the drugs and a link for transferring the inputted information to the centralized archive. The system further comprises a processing unit for receiving the transactional information from the centralized archive and for processing it so as to generate at least one report for a defined period of time which detects patterns and abnormalities in distribution and usage of selected ones of the drugs. The method describes the manner in which the transactional information is manipulated to detect any patterns and abnormalities in the distribution and usage of the drugs.
