This paper presents the 2-year goals that were set by the Department of Pharmaceutical Services at Sioux Valley Hospital in 1992 regarding inventory cost savings. These goals included decreasing inventory by 10%, increasing turnover rate, controlling formulary additions, removing low-usage drugs from the formulary, ensuring compliance with group contracts, and the appropriate selection of generic equivalents for all multisource drugs. By using available computer technology offered by the prime vendor wholesaler, these objectives were accomplished. Cost containment was monitored from May 1, 1992 to April 30, 1994, two fiscal years. Inventory decreased by 16%, turnover rate increased on the top 90% of dollar-volume pharmaceuticals from 31 to 46, 72 drugs were removed from the formulary, and savings generated by using group contracts was 32% of purchase cost.
本文介绍了苏族山谷医院药学服务部于1992年设定的关于库存成本节约的两年目标。这些目标包括将库存减少10%、提高周转率、控制处方集新增药物、从处方集中移除低使用量药物、确保遵守集团合同以及为所有多源药物适当选择通用等效物。通过使用主要供应商批发商提供的现有计算机技术，这些目标得以实现。在1992年5月1日至1994年4月30日这两个财政年度对成本控制情况进行了监测。库存减少了16%，价值量排名前90%的药品的周转率从31提高到了46，72种药物从处方集中移除，通过使用集团合同产生的节约额占采购成本的32%。
