OBJECTIVE

2

To resolve account discrepancies caused by drug price adjustment in medical institution pharmacy management and reduce the time required for price adjustment.

METHODS

2

The problems existing in the drug price adjustment models of domestic medical institutions were investigated， and a drug price adjustment system was developed based on price-invoice synchronization mechanism. The system optimized the drug price adjustment process through batch number matching and real-time monitoring functionalities. The account consistency rate and price adjustment time were evaluated before and after system implementation.

RESULTS

2

A drug price adjustment system was successfully developed， featuring an innovative “synchronized entry and exit” mode， batch number matching， real-time monitoring， intelligent automation， and electronic traceability. After implementation， the account consistency rate for Western medicines increased from 86.89% （86.66%， 89.63%） to 100% （100%， 100%） （

CONCLUSIONS

2

The developed system significantly improves account consistency， shortens price adjustment time， and demonstrates notable innovation and practical utility.
