System and method for generating an integrated label for container housing multi-script pouches

Abstract

A system for integrating and labeling a plurality of tablet orders is described. The system comprises a graphical user interface configured to receive one or more inputs for a plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient. A software module is configured to compile the inputs into an integrated order. The system further comprises an integrated label coupled to a package containing a dose comprised of the plurality of tablets input into the graphical user interface. The integrated label indicates information about the first dose and the second dose.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for integrating and labeling a plurality of tablet orders, comprising:
 a graphical user interface configured to:
 receive a first input for a first plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient; and 
 receive a second input for a second plurality of tablets associated with the particular patient; 
   a software module configured to compile the first input and the second input into an integrated order; and   an integrated label coupled to a package containing a first dose from the first plurality of tablets and a second dose from the second plurality of tablets, the integrated label indicating information about the first dose and the second dose.   
     
     
         2 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label indicates a time at which the first dose and the second dose are to be consumed. 
     
     
         3 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label further comprises color images of a tablet from the first dose and a tablet from the second dose. 
     
     
         4 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label further comprises a date on which consumption of the first plurality of tablets and the second plurality of tablets is to begin. 
     
     
         5 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label further comprises large print text. 
     
     
         6 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label further comprises a photograph of the patient. 
     
     
         7 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label further comprises drug precaution information corresponding to one or more of the tablets contained in the package. 
     
     
         8 . The integrated label of  claim 1 , wherein the integrated label further comprises information about potential interactions between one or more of the tablets contained in the package and another substance. 
     
     
         9 . A system for integrating and labeling a plurality of tablet orders, comprising:
 a graphical user interface configured to:
 receive a first input for a first plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient; and 
 receive a second input for a second plurality of tablets associated with the particular patient; 
   a software module configured to compile the first input and the second input into an integrated order;   an integrated label coupled to a package containing a first dose from the first plurality of tablets and a second dose from the second plurality of tablets; and   a secondary container configured to contain a plurality of packages, the secondary container comprising a secondary label.   
     
     
         10 . The secondary label of  claim 9 , wherein the secondary label indicates information comprising a time at which the first dose and the second dose are to be consumed. 
     
     
         11 . The secondary label of  claim 9 , wherein the secondary label indicates a date on which consumption of the first plurality of tablets and the second plurality of tablets is to begin. 
     
     
         12 . The integrated label of  claim 9 , wherein the integrated label further comprises color images of a tablet from the first dose and a tablet from the second dose. 
     
     
         13 . The integrated label of  claim 9 , wherein the integrated label further comprises a date on which consumption of the first plurality of tablets and the second plurality of tablets is to begin. 
     
     
         14 . The integrated label of  claim 9 , wherein the integrated label further comprises large print text. 
     
     
         15 . The integrated label of  claim 9 , wherein the integrated label further comprises a photograph of the patient. 
     
     
         16 . The integrated label of  claim 9 , wherein the integrated label further comprises drug precaution information corresponding to one or more of the tablets contained in the package. 
     
     
         17 . The integrated label of  claim 9 , wherein the integrated label further comprises information about potential interactions between one or more of the tablets contained in the package and another substance. 
     
     
         18 . A method for integrating and labeling a plurality of tablet orders, comprising:
 receiving with a graphical user interface:
 a first input for a first plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient; and 
 a second input for a second plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient; 
   compiling with a software module the first input and the second input into an integrated order;   generating with the software module an integrated label to couple to a package containing a first dose from the first plurality of tablets and a second dose from the second plurality of tablets, the integrated label indicating information about the first dose and the second dose.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising generating with the software module a secondary label for a secondary container containing a plurality of packages. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the secondary label indicates information comprising a time at which the first dose and the second dose are to be consumed. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the secondary label indicates a date on which consumption of the first plurality of tablets and the second plurality of tablets is to begin.
