Zusammenfassung:	Provided is a method and system for programming a drug delivery device. The method includes using a portable computer terminal to read a device code encoding information specific to the drug delivery device, a patient code identifying a specific patient that is to receive the drug administered by the drug delivery device, and a drug code accompanying a container storing the drug to be administered to the specific patient by the drug delivery device. Once input is received from a user indicating that operation of the drug delivery device to deliver the drug to the specific patient is to begin, the portable computer terminal initiates creation of an electronic record thereon linking the information specific to the drug delivery device, the information indicative of the identity of the specific patient, and the information indicative of the drug delivery parameter.
