ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of the collaboration application of hospital information system (HIS) andsmart chaininventory automation management system(SPD)in drug distribution enterprises on drug logistics management,and achieve the centralized distribution of drugs. METHODS:Related countermeasures in achieving the informatization and scientiza-tion of drug inventory management after the collaboration application of HIS and SPD were introduced,and effectiveness analysis was conducted for the inventory management by comparing related indicators before and after collaboration application. RESULTS:Through the establishment ofunified receiving platformsystem and barcode technology that combined with HIS and SPD,drug barcode acceptance was achieved;setting drug fixed package and scanning fixed cards in outer packing in theunified receiving platformsystem can achieve automatic out-and into-storehouse and generating purchase plan;the collaboration application of HIS and SPD achieved drug concentration distribution. Compared with before,monthly inventory amount was decreased 27.07%(P<0.05)in the condition that both drug purchases and sales amount were increased,into-warehouse time of pharmacy acceptance was decreased from 6-12 s in each drug to 10-15 s in each order,pharmacy staff dropped from 2.5 to 2 persons. CONCLUSIONS:The collaboration application of HIS and SPD in drug logistics management has improved efficiency of warehouse,reduced drug inven-tory and achieved the informatization and scientization of drug inventory management.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish an algorithm on the turnover ratio of drug inventory. Methods: According to the employed method in the commercial field on calculating the inventory turnover and the requirements in the review of three level hospitals by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, an appropriate method for calculating the turnover rate of drug inventory was de-duced. Meanwhile, a corresponding program was performed for the verification. Results:Only the day turnover could be obtained ac-cording to the algorithms on the inventory turnover in commercial field, and the circumstances of the sales could be replaced by the cur-rent sales to obtain the statistics at any given time, while there was remarkable difference between the calculated results and the actual results of some species. If the time in store was chosen as the statistical index, the problem could be avoided. Conclusion:The meth-od with drug storage time as the statistical index can calculate the inventory turnover ratio at any time precisely, which also can be pro-grammed automatically, and the proportion of available varieties meets the inspection requirements.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To reduce the error rate of inventory in the automated pharmacy of our hospital. METHODS:Activi-ties were designed and implemented by the management method of quality control circles(QCC)-PDCA(Plan,Do,Check and Ac-tion)cycle. The reasons for the errors of inventory in the automated pharmacy were analyzed to investigate and implement counter-measures. Visible and invisible achievements were evaluated,and then standardized processes were made. RESULTS:The errors of inventory in the automated pharmacy mainly included those of drug dispensing,drug shelving,drug return sheet,automatic medi-cine dispensing machine and system. In view of the above reasons,relevant standards were formulated and performed,including the process of warehouse-out check and shelving of drugs,drug dispensing process for the automated pharmacy,the process of sec-ondary check,etc. After the implementation of the activities,the error rate of inventory in the automated pharmacy reduced from 9.17% to 3.77%,which was visible achievement;and the above-mentioned standardized processes could ensure continuous run-ning of PDCA cycle. The practice,sense of responsibility,communication and coordination of management members in PDCA cy-cle namely invisible achievements were improved to some extent. CONCLUSIONS:The management method of QCC-PDCA cycle is feasible in reduction of the error rate of inventory in the automated pharmacy,which can provide a reference for automated phar-macy management.
