Abstract

A system includes a network interface and a processor coupled to the network interface. The processor is configured to receive an identifier of a waste product via the network interface; determine, based on the identifier, a waste category for the waste product; and provide a report that includes the determined waste category.

Claims (53)

1 . A system comprising:

a network interface; and

a processor coupled to the network interface, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive an identifier of a waste product via the network interface;

determine, based on the identifier, a waste category for the waste product; and

provide a report that includes the determined waste category.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is in a bar code format and wherein the processor is configured to decode the bar code format to receive the identifier.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

determine whether the identifier is an identifier associated with a domain; and

update, based on the determination, a profile of the domain.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the report comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of: a name, a dosage strength, a dosage form, a consumption method, a return method, a disposal method, the waste category, and an agency regulating the medication.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the report is a first report, and wherein the processor is configured to provide a second report based on the identifier.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the second report comprises one or more selected from a group consisting of: a safety alert, a recall notification, a market withdrawal notification, or some combination thereof.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a form associated with a regulatory entity; and

populate the form with information stored on the storage device.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the report is a first report, and wherein the processor is configured to:

receive an indication of a geographic location of the system;

provide the first report responsive to the identifier and the geographic location being a first geographic location; and

provide a second report responsive to the identifier and the geographic location being a second geographic location different than the first geographic location, wherein the second report is different than the first report.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the first report includes a first disposal protocol for the waste product, and wherein the second report includes a second disposal protocol for the waste product that is different than the first disposal protocol.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to provide a control signal to facilitate disposal of the waste product in accordance with a disposal protocol responsive to the determined waste category.

11 . The system of claim 10 , further comprising a robotic device coupled to the processor, wherein the robotic device is configured to:

receive the control signal from the processor;

physically receive the waste product; and

provide the received waste product to a waste receptacle responsive to the control signal.

12 . A non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

receive a domain identifier;

provide a user interface based on the domain identifier;

receive an identifier of a waste product;

cause the user interface to display a list of products based on the identifier of the waste product; and

provide a report based on a selection of a product of the list of products.

13 . The machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein execution of the machine-readable instructions causes the processor to:

cause the user interface to display a second list of products based on a filter selected from the user interface; and

provide a second report based on a second filter selected from the user interface.

14 . The machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the domain identifier is a first domain identifier, and wherein execution of the machine-readable instructions causes the processor to:

receive a second domain identifier;

provide a second user interface based on the second domain identifier;

receive a second identifier of a waste product;

cause the second user interface to display a second list of products based on the second identifier; and

provide a second report based on a selection of a product from the second list of products.

15 . The machine-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the first domain identifier is associated with a first location of the domain and the second domain identifier is associated with a second location of the domain.

16 . The machine-readable medium 14 , wherein a first enterprise associated with the first domain identifier is different from a second enterprise associated with the second domain identifier.

17 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by a processor, an identifier of a waste product;

determining, by the processor, a waste category for the waste product based on the identifier; and

providing, by the processor, a report that includes the determined waste category.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the report is a first report, and wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an indication of a geographic location of the processor;

providing the first report responsive to the identifier and the geographic location being a first geographic location; and

providing a second report responsive to the identifier and the geographic location being a second geographic location different than the first geographic location, wherein the second report is different than the first report.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the first report includes a first disposal protocol for the waste product, and wherein the second report includes a second disposal protocol for the waste product that is different than the first disposal protocol.

20 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising providing a control signal to facilitate disposal of the waste product in accordance with a disposal protocol responsive to the determined waste category.
