Abstract:
A system includes a database that stores information associated with a medication located in a base station. The information includes an indication of whether a container of the medication was returned to the base station subsequent to the medication being administered. A control module communicates with the base station, determines when the medication is retrieved from the base station, determines whether the container of the medication is returned to the base station, and updates the information stored in the database when the container of the medication is returned to the base station.
