Inpatient pharmacy drugs based on mobile information technology in a "carbon neutral" context Research in a closed-loop management system

Abstract Background The objective is to build a green and low-carbon closed-loop pharmaceutical management system, to improve the quality of pharmacy services and enhance pharmaceutical management based on the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society Standard (HIMSS), thereby reflecting the value of pharmacists, and improve the level of hospital management. Methods By using Mobile information technology and replaced the traditional paper dispensing model and constructing a multi-node information registration system to redesign and reform the hospital information system and inpatient pharmacy workflow. Results After the transformation, the entire process of drug data can be traced and closed-loop management, as well as real-time data verification and control, thereby improving the work efficiency, and reducing the drug dispensing time. The number of dispensing errors decreased from 5 cases/month to 1 case/month. The comprehensive dispensing process can achieve the whole process of paperless operation, and reduce the use of A4 paper by 180,000 pieces per year. Conclusions Mobile information technology is highly expandable and suitable for continuous innovation and improvement of pharmacy services, the levels of drug management and hospital quality management can be improved, the safety of medication for inpatients can be guaranteed, and the usage of A4 paper can be significantly reduced by continuous iterative improvement of technology.
