System And Method For Prescription Security And Authentication
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for receiving, from an issuer, an electronic prescription for a patient, then fulfilling that prescription using a blockchain/distributed ledger verification system. The system receives multiple public keys, combines them, then performs a hash function (or other encryption) on that combination. The resulting output is then transmitted to a pharmacy for prescription fulfillment.

- 1. A method comprising:
receiving, from an issuer, an electronic prescription for a patient; receiving a first public key associated with the issuer, the first public key:
being associated with a blockchain;
forming a first alphanumeric code; and
being formed via a first algorithmic transformation, executed using a first private key associated with the issuer, of:
an identification of the issuer;
contact information of the issuer; and
an identification of a restricted pharmaceutical associated with the electronic prescription;
receiving a second public key associated with the patient, the second public key:
being associated with the blockchain;
forming a second alphanumeric code; and
being formed via a second algorithmic transformation, executed using a second private key associated with the patient, of:
an identification of the patient;
contact information of the patient; and
the identification of the restricted pharmaceutical associated with the electronic prescription;
combining, via a processor, the first public key and the second public key sequentially, to form a combined public key; executing, via the processor, a hash function on the combined public key; and transmitting the combined public key to a pharmacy.
- 8. A system comprising:
a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an issuer, an electronic prescription for a patient;
receiving a first public key associated with the issuer, the first public key:
being associated with a blockchain;
forming a first alphanumeric code; and
being formed via a first algorithmic transformation, executed using a first private key associated with the issuer, of:
an identification of the issuer;
contact information of the issuer; and
an identification of a restricted pharmaceutical associated with the electronic prescription;
receiving a second public key associated with the patient, the second public key:
being associated with the blockchain;
forming a second alphanumeric code; and
being formed via a second algorithmic transformation, executed using a second private key associated with the patient, of:
an identification of the patient;
contact information of the patient; and
the identification of the restricted pharmaceutical associated with the electronic prescription;
combining the first public key and the second public key sequentially, to form a combined public key;
executing a hash function on the combined public key; and
transmitting the combined public key to a pharmacy.
- 15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an issuer, an electronic prescription for a patient; receiving a first public key associated with the issuer, the first public key:
being associated with a blockchain;
forming a first alphanumeric code; and
being formed via a first algorithmic transformation, executed using a first private key associated with the issuer, of:
an identification of the issuer;
contact information of the issuer; and
an identification of a restricted pharmaceutical associated with the electronic prescription;
receiving a second public key associated with the patient, the second public key:
being associated with the blockchain;
forming a second alphanumeric code; and
being formed via a second algorithmic transformation, executed using a second private key associated with the patient, of:
an identification of the patient;
contact information of the patient; and
the identification of the restricted pharmaceutical associated with the electronic prescription;
combining the first public key and the second public key sequentially, to form a combined public key; executing a hash function on the combined public key; and transmitting the combined public key to a pharmacy.
