    摘要: A medication vending device is provided with at least three distinct vending modes. A first vending mode causes the device to output a prompt at the respective dose time. The prompt communicates to the patient that a dose of medication should be vended from the device by the patient and immediately consumed. A second vending mode causes the device to automatically vend a dose of medication at the respective dose time without requiring any action by the patient. A third vending mode causes the device to immediately vend a dose of medication without requiring any action by the patient. The third vending mode allows for selection of a daily dose time from the plurality of daily dose times, and selection of one or more future dates, so as to cause immediate vending of the medication doses for the selected daily dose time for the selected one or more future dates.

    摘要: A medication vending device is integrated into systems that ensure compliance with a medication dosing schedule of a patient. The medication vending device contains medication packages to be vended in accordance with the patient's dosing schedule. The system can check for prescription changes that occurred between the date of generation of the medication packages and the date of loading the medication packages into the medication vending device, and provide appropriate alert messages to inhibit loading of the medication packages into the medication vending device. In addition, post-loading prescription changes can be detected, and appropriate alert messages or actions can be taken regarding the medication packages currently loaded into the medication vending device.
