OBJECTIVE To construct a whole-process management system for the smart pharmacy based on the integration of drug batch numbers and traceability codes, aiming to solve the problems of low upload rates and traceability difficulties of drug traceability codes in the central pharmacy, and to enhance its level of refined management and medication safety. METHODS Following the FOCUS-PDCA framework(find,organize,clarify,understand,select-plan,do,check,act), a drug batch number and traceability code management system was established by optimizing batch number management processes, introducing “pre-scan registration” technology, and establishing a dynamic “code pool” mechanism. Based on medical insurance upload data and operational performance indicators in our hospital from June to August 2025, the differences in management efficacy before and after the implementation of the system were compared and analyzed. RESULTS The drug batch number and traceability code management system was successfully established, achieving “one-object, one-code” whole-process association with batch numbers for inpatient drugs, especially split drugs. After the application of this system, the upload rate of inpatient drug traceability codes reached 100%, significantly higher than the average upload rate of inpatient drugs in other tertiary hospitals in our city (with the highest rate being only 23.22%, P <0.001). The inventory stocktaking error rate dropped from 0.9% to 0.3% (a decrease of 66.7%); the number of daily dispensing errors decreased from 1.43 to 0.37; the dispensing time (14.75 min) for temporary medical orders recovered to the routine level (14.42 min) prior to the system implementation. CONCLUSIONS By adopting the “pre-scan registration-code pool management-closed-loop traceability” model, this system enables traceability for individual drug products in their smallest packaging units, improves the upload rate of traceability codes, significantly reduces the medication dispensing error rate, and does not increase the time cost for temporary medical order dispensing, thereby balancing efficiency with closed-loop traceability.

OBJECTIVE To establish a drug batch number traceability management mode in intelligent anesthesia pharmacy of operating room, improve the management level of batch number traceability in anesthesia pharmacy of operating room and ensure the safety of surgical medication. METHODS The problems encountered in the application of batch number traceability management mode in intelligent anesthesia pharmacy of operating room were analyzed to implement the optimization measure and summarize the optimization effect. RESULTS In view of the incompatibility of multiple batch numbers on the dosing track, the insufficient number of drugs in the automated dispensing cabinet, the long replenishment time, the low stability of the automated dispensing cabinet, and the tedious management of drugs with a near-expiration period, the following measures were implemented, including changing the minimum unit of dosing, adjusting the drug base number and surgery schedule, optimizing the supplementary drug delivery order, repairing dosing tracks of the automated dispensing cabinet, adding the batch number correction function, improving the screening function of drugs with a near-expiration period, and configuring the automated dispensing cabinet in the recovery room. It realized the coexistence of multiple batch numbers on the dosing track, the sufficient number of drugs in the automated dispensing cabinet, the shortening of the replenishment time, the improvement in the stability of the automated dispensing cabinet, and the efficient management of drugs with a near-expiration period. CONCLUSIONS The batch number traceability management mode is established in intelligent anesthesia pharmacy of operating room in our hospital, which improves the system function module, optimizes the work process, increases the stability of the automated dispensing cabinet, improves the work efficiency, and realizes the refined management of surgical medication.

OBJECTIVE:To introduce the development and application of automatic dosing and mixing system of intravenous infusion in PIVAS of our hospital. METHODS :Based on the bar code management system in PIVAS ,combined with automatic mixing equipment ,our hospital developed and designed automatic dosing and mixing system of intravenous infusion which could realize real-time scanning and charging of drugs ,setting parameters of mixed dispensing and automatic dosing and mixed dispensing of intravenous infusion. Compared with manual dispensing model ,work efficiency of 5 staff who dispensed Coenzyme complex for injection and Carbazochrome sodium s ulfonate for injection 300 bags each as well as the amount of drug residues in empty bottle were investigated to evaluate the effects of the system. RESULTS :The system realized automatic mixing of intravenous infusion. In manual dispensing model and automatic dispensing model ,the mixing efficiency of Coenzyme complex for injection were (96.6±10.0)and(195.2±10.7)bag/h(P<0.001);mixing efficiency of Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate for injection were (83.8±12.9)and(118.8±6.7)bag/h(P<0.001). The amount of residual liquid in Coenzyme complex for injection empty bottle were (0.09±0.02)and(0.11±0.01)mL;Carbazochrome sodium sulfonate for injection empty bottle were (0.08± 0.02)and(0.12±0.01)mL,which were all lower than the internal control requirements that injected solvent volume was no more than 5% (0.15 mL). CONCLUSIONS :The automatic dosing and mixing system of intravenous infusion could improve the efficiency of intravenous infusion dispensing and reduce the labor intensity of the staff .

OBJECTIVE:To provide refe rence for inte lligent managemen t of central pharmacy. METHODS :The construction experience of intelligent central pharmacy management mode were introduced ,including the use of information technology ,the introduction of automation equipment ,the rational layout of the central pharmacy ,as well as the optimization of work flow ,and the establishment of integrated management mode ,etc. The workload of intelligent central pharmacy in our hospital before construction(2016),during construction (2017-2018)and after operation (2019)were collected from our hospital information system(HIS),including the number of injection doctor ’s orders ,the number of doctor ’s orders reviewed ,the number of PIVAS deployment,the number of oral medical orders ,the number of medical orders discharged with medicine ,etc. The pharmacist scheduling before and after the operation of intelligent central pharmacy in our hospital was counted. The average daily quantity of injection prescription ,average dispensing speed ,timely delivery rate and dispensing errors were calculated. In addition ,the satisfaction of medical staff in 39 wards of our hospital were investigated every quarter to evaluate the implementation effect of intelligent central pharmacy management model. RESULTS :From 2016 to 2019,the workload of the central pharmacy in our hospital showed an overall upward trend ,and the average daily prescription amount increased year by year ,and the average daily prescription amount in 2017-2019 was significantly more than that in 2016(P<0.05).
