Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for securely dispensing medication are described herein. the system includes a telemedicine center that communicates with medical assistant station and a medication distribution station located at a correctional facility and a physician center remote to the correctional facility. the medical assistant station transmits a request for medication to the telemedicine center. the telemedicine center verifies an identity of the medical assistant requesting the medication and transmits the request to the physician center. when the telemedicine center receives a confirmation to dispense medicine from the physician center, an identity of the physician transmitting the confirmation is verified. the telemedicine center then verifies an identity of an inmate to receive the medication, by way of the medication distribution station, and allows the medication distribution station to dispense the medication.
