Abstract
The Smart Pharmacy Card automates the patient's medical and prescription history so that every new prescription can be analyzed by a pharmacist to determine if it conflicts with disease states, allergies, prescription and non-prescription drugs documented in the card. The prototype that will be demonstrated at SCAMC 1991 will use an integrated-circuit card ("smart card") that holds 16,000 bits of electronically-erasable data.
