Computers label generation

Almost all modern pharmacies use a computer to generate the labels for dispensed prescriptions. In addition to generating labels, the pharmacy computer can be used to collate individual patient medication records (PMRs) and highlight any potential drug interactions, both with medication that is currently being supplied... 

Always use clear, concise, detailed labeling. Avoid computer labels, e.g., WGT for weight, which is a particular problem for the default labels used in graphics generated by S-Plus. 

TTiese include an IBM PC/AT computer that functions in conjunction with a Zymate System V Controller located beneath the table top. Other devices located on this table include an autotitrator with solvent/titrant reservoirs, a pneumatic solvent switching valve, a metering pump, and a Zymark Power and Event Controller (PEC). A bar code printer provides labels for sample vials, and a printer is used for hard copy report generation. The devices mounted on the robot table (approximately 90x 1 SO cm) are listed in Table 6.S.
