Abstract

A method for managing medication delivery risk is provided. The method obtains risk data for medication deliveries in an identified geo-spatial location, and generates a predicted risk score based on a machine learning model trained to analyze the risk data. As described herein, the predicted risk score indicates whether a delivery interruption is required for the medication deliveries in the identified geo-spatial location. When the predicted risk score indicates a required delivery interruption, the method (i) removes queue entries for one or more of the medication deliveries from a delivery queue, to implement the required delivery interruption; (ii) generates an interruption notification associated with the required delivery interruption; and (iii) transmits the interruption notification.
