Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the current allocation status of automated equipment in pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS） of medical institutions in China， and to provide reference for understanding the current status and future direction of PIVAS automation construction. METHODS In the form of a questionnaire survey， a questionnaire was distributed to medical institutions in 30 provinces across the country through the “Wenjuanxing” platform to investigate the four aspects of PIVAS， such as the allocation of automated equipment， intelligent intravenous medication dispensing robots， design and development of workflow software and information integration methods for automated equipment， and conduct statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 761 PIVAS participated in the survey， 373 PIVAS were equipped with automated equipment. Among 373 PIVAS with automated equipment， automatic finished infusion sorting machines and automatic labeling machines were the main equipment， and 93.56% of PIVAS were not equipped with intelligent intravenous medication dispensing robots； 511 PIVAS used workflow software designed and developed by third-party software companies. In the project of information integration for automated equipment， there was not much difference in the proportion of cases where there was no automated equipment， automated equipment directly interfaced with hospital information systems， and automated equipment interfaced with PIVAS software platform. CONCLUSIONS The automated equipment allocation rate of PIVAS in China is relatively low， and there is still a lot of room for development. We should improve the relevant guidelines for automated equipment as soon as possible， promote standardized and reasonable equipment research and development， and enable PIVAS to more efficiently complete intravenous drug dispensing， in order to provide more dengrm3@mail.sysu.edu.cn comprehensive pharmaceutical services.
