Disrupts Traditional Dispensing Models, Balancing Efficiency and Safety
With the continuous development of modern medical technology, the storage management and packaging distribution of hospital drugs have also made historic innovations, achieving a shift towards scientificity, intelligence, and refinement. The "intelligent pharmacy" built by the People's Hospital of Fengkai County has subverted the traditional dispensing model, greatly improving the efficiency of medicine dispensing.
1. Safety - The application of automatic drug dispensing machines requires pharmacists to review medical records and orders, which can better ensure the safety and rationality of clinical medication and promote the development of hospital pharmacy.
and effectively ensuring the safety of patients' medication.
2. Accuracy - The automatic medicine packaging machine is precisely controlled by computers and special mechanical devices to achieve an accuracy rate of over 99%, maximizing the avoidance of errors caused by various reasons in traditional medicine packaging.
3. Efficient - When manually dispensing medication, a ward typically takes 20-30 minutes, while an automatic dispensing machine produces an average of 40-60 bags of medication per minute. A ward can complete dispensing in 4-5 minutes, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing the workload of medical staff, allowing them to have more time and energy to serve patients.
4. Hygiene - Traditional processes, such as pharmacists counting drugs and nurses handling drugs, inevitably require contact with drugs; The use of manual medicine packaging inevitably leads to contact with the air, increasing the chances of drug contamination. However, automatic drug packaging machines use specialized plastic bags and are packaged in closed environments to minimize the likelihood of drug contamination.
