RESUMO
OBJECTIVE： To improve the quality of antitumor drug dispensing in pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS）， reduce dispensing error and occupational exposure to dispensers by antitumor drugs. METHODS： The composition and functions of automatic injection dispensing system were introduced， and the system was applied in antitumor drug dispensing in PIVAS. Various work indexes were compared 1 month before and after the application of the system. RESULTS： The system included information processing software， equipment control software and drug dispensing machine hardware， and had functions such as automatic counting of medicines， automatic entry into basket， automatic drug dispensing and automatic printing of labels. After applying automatic injection dispensing system， the operation of infusion label printing， basket dividing and dispensing in dispensing process was changed from manual to automatic. It could save human resources， as for each label， the average time of drug dispensing decreased from （33.00±3.31） s to （15.55±1.41） s while no mistakes and damaged label was found. CONCLUSIONS： The application of automatic injection dispensing system achieves automatic operation of antitumor drug dispensing in PIVAS， reduce dispensing error reduces staff’s exposure to antitumor drugs and occupational exposure.
