A computer system for tracking the lot numbers of pharmaceuticals that are administered to patients. The system includes a plurality of remote systems, each typically at a different hospital. Each remote system associates the lot numbers of pharmaceuticals that are administered to patients with information relating to the patients that receive the pharmaceuticals, and includes a remote communication system for sending the associations to a host system. The host system receives the associations from the remote systems, stores them, and consults the associations to identify recipients that need to be notified in connection with a lot number that needs to be tracked. The host system also includes a notification system for automatically issuing recall notices.
