Unfortunately, that's not how it works. The prescription has to be reviewed by a pharmacist before it will even dispense through an automatic dispensing system.

Very true in retail and hospital pharmacy setting as well.

This is true, however a pharmacist is ultimately responsible (& legally responsible) for deciding actionable events after a discovery -- this is all logged and signed with electronic signature in case of mistakes and lawsuits.

We already do this for Zithromax Z-Pak, Imitrex, Diflucan, and Medrol DosePak where the directions and prescribed quantity are always the same.

For other drugs, in practice you get short supply on a drug, and can only fill a partial, or you have patients that only want a weeks worth.

Another factor is the packaging adds extra cost, and it's cheaper to order a bulk 500 count bottle.

This is true, retail pharmacies order bulk packages, however in hospitals we order blister packs since unit dose is preferred.
