A method for enhancing data quality of a drug dose dispense data set to automatically provide dispense data reflecting actually injected dose amounts. For a given dispense session the method comprises the steps of creating a list of possible dispense patterns in accordance with a set of pattern rules and then for each pattern in the list calculate a weight allowing a winning pattern to be determined. Each dispense pattern is a particular sequence of priming events and injection events, with each dispense pattern being a possible interpretation of the dispense events in the current session. For each pattern a combined pattern weight being the product of weight factors for each dispense in the pattern is calculated, wherein each weight factor is determined in accordance with a weight factor vs dispense size function for the given dispense type and dispense size, wherein the larger the dispense size, the more likely it is to represent an injection event and the less likely it is to represent a priming event.
