A pharmacy Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system can identify a targeted
message for playing to a caller using criteria that are based on a
prescription number that is provided by the caller. The functionality of
an IVR system can thereby be enhanced to provide targeted educational
messages concerning the pharmaceutical prescription, targeted messages
that indicate alternative medications that may substituted for the
pharmaceutical prescription, targeted messages that identify other items
that may be desired, targeted messages that solicit participation in a
study related to the pharmaceutical prescription and/or other targeted
messages. Related systems and computer program products are also
discussed.
