[Analysis of foreign experience of usage of automation systems of medication distribution in prevention and treatment facilities].

One of the ways of increase of effectiveness and safety of patients medication supplement is the use of automated systems of distribution, through which substantially increases the efficiency and safety of patients' medication supplement, achieves significant economy of material and financial resources for medication assistance and possibility of systematical improvement of its accessibility and quality.

[The perspectives of using the modern technological equipment for preparation of injection solutions in the military drugstores].

In modern conditions the most rational approach to medicinal support is an optimal combination of nomenclature of ready drugs and drugs prepared extemporary. Independently of the place where the drugs are prepared (industrial production or preparation under conditions of drugstores) they should correspond to the following requirements: to have therapeutic effectiveness, to be harmless for patient and injection solutions (IS) should be sterile, apyretic and with minimal microbial contamination before thermal sterilization. At present it can be achieved only with the wide use of semiautomatic or automatic equipment for IS preparation arranged into technological complexes. Such complexes are home-produced. Besides The Main Military Medical Headquarters has created the complex, which can be used in stationary and field conditions. The use of technological complexes for IS preparation provides their adequate quality and contributes to budget economy at the expense of decreased purchases of IS produced in the factories.

[The main directions for improving the medical supply specialists training in conditions of pharmaceutical education system reformation in our country].

The beginning of Russian pharmaceutical education reform requires the new approaches to organization of medical supply specialists' training. The specialized training of medical supply managerial staff for the Armed Forces is conducted in the department of military medical supply and pharmaceutics in the Kirov Military Medical Academy.

[Scientific and practical aspects of modern technologies for obtaining purified water and water for injection in field conditions].

Nowadays drug stores of military-and-field medical organizations use the method of distillation for obtaining cleaned water and water for injection and use distillators as a technical means, which does not ensure that the water obtained has stated indices of quality. It was found out that it is the most efficient to use the technology basing on the complex usage of filtering, osmotic, ionic processes for obtaining cleaned water and water for injection from surface natural springs, which ensures minimal usage of resources and energy and the unity of constructional and technological peculiarities of cleaning water methods.

[The ways for improvement of infusion solution preparation in field conditions].

To solve the problem of more effective preparation of infusion solutions in field conditions is impossible without conduction of research and experimental-and-designers' work. The main direction of such work is creation of modern means of infusion solution packing with the use of polymeric materials (containers); the sterilization complex with filtering and aseptic dosed pouring of infusion solutions into containers; the water-obtaining installation for injections in field conditions from natural sources. Besides a set of technical means (the complex for infusion solution preparation in polymeric containers, the water-obtaining installation for injections in field conditions, etc.) should be created. Also it is necessary to have the mobile technical means (the field laboratory of infusion solutions) that allows conducting all measures for mass preparation of infusion solutions in polymeric containers under field conditions.

[Record optimization and control of medical property stocks].

To conduct the adequate control of medical property coming to the medical provision institution the software was developed where the special attention was paid to the functions of control-and-operational department. It is conditioned by the fact that together with cost control it is necessary to record the medical property in natural values. The use of the created program in local net system allowed organizing the operative control of material stocks at all stages of its movement.
