OBJECTIVE

2

To provide reference for the construction of intelligent pharmacy and quality control of each link in medical institutions.

METHODS

2

The problems， difficulties， and risk points in the links of prescription extraction， allocation， drug resource utilization， prescription and child information verification in pediatric outpatient and emergency pharmacy of our hospital were sorted out to put forward the solutions. The pediatric outpatient and emergency intelligent pharmacy service system of our hospital was established， and its effectiveness was analyzed.

RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS

2

In response to the risk points of drug accumulation， dispensing errors， being prone to complaints or disputes， safety hazards in dispensing， and pharmacist’s incorrect operation in various stages such as payment， taking medicine and dispensing， pediatric outpatient and emergency intelligent pharmacy service system was established in our hospital by adding intelligent queuing links， enabling “QR codes”， introducing devices such as rapid dispensing machines， intelligent drug racks， and intelligent dismantling machines. After using the system， the average outpatient dispensing speed increased from 37.55 s/piece to 16.97 s/piece （direct delivery prescriptions） and 27.10 s/piece （non-direct delivery prescriptions）， and the average emergency dispensing speed increased from 26.98 s/piece to 19.61 s/piece （
