Abstract:
The transfer of prescription medication requests from a physician to an individual is automated through the use of a clearinghouse function that interacts with both the physician and client. Maintaining the security of prescriptions, while simultaneously providing the advantages of electronic transfer is met the secure transmission of prescription information to a clearinghouse and the generation of a prescription that a user may then take to any pharmacy that is in communication with the clearinghouse. The prescription is only issued after the physician is verified by the clearinghouse as a valid prescription author, and the prescription is generated without sensitive data such that security is maintained if the prescription is lost. The clearinghouse, when contacted by a validated pharmacy, will issue information regarding the prescription when a valid, non-expired prescription identifier is entered into the system to the pharmacy. The user may then have the prescription filled without worry about validity or security of their personal data.
