Pharmacy workstations designed to obtain and process data related to prescription verification, tracking, management and/or manual dispensing of medications. These workstations typically consist of a computerized unit including a display, data input devices (e.g., keyboards, touchscreens), and barcode scanners and labelers; the workstation usually includes dedicated software that permits communication with clinical pharmacy data management systems. Medication dispensing workstations are intended to manage, check and verify the status of the complete dispensing process in real time; when placed at the point of dispensing the workstation facilitates proper identification and tracking of both patients and medications.
