- Abstract
Background: Drug closed-loop management reflects the level of hospital management and pharmacist service. It is a challenge for hospital pharmacists to realize the whole-process closed-loop management of drugs in hospital pharmacies. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the operational effect of using mobile technology to build a closed-loop drug management system. Methods: Using mobile technology, replacing the traditional paper dispensing model and constructing a multinode information collection system according to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Standard, we reformed the hospital information system and inpatient pharmacy workflow and then evaluated the new approach using statistical methods. Results: After the transformation, the entire process of drug data can be traced. Closed-loop management, as well as real-time data verification and control, thereby improves the work efficiency and reduces the drug dispensing time. By reducing the work error rate, the number of dispensing errors decreased from 5 to 1 case/month. The comprehensive dispensing process can achieve the whole workflow of paperless operation and reduce the use of paper A4 by 180,000 pieces per year. Conclusions: Mobile technology can improve the service level of pharmacies, enhance the level of drug management and hospital quality management, ensure the safety of medication for inpatients, and significantly reduce the amount of paper used.
