Modern techniques for managing pharmacy inventories are described. Pharmacists should rely on modern techniques, such as sort-based and activity-based analyses, for managing pharmacy inventories, containing drug costs, performing replacement-and-elimination analysis, and monitoring the health system's operations. Unit price and quantity are the two basic inventory-control approaches; however, modern techniques recognize quantity as the more useful of the two. The primary areas of the pharmacy's activities must be taken into consideration. Pharmacists must learn to divide inventory analysis problems into sets of smaller issues. Modern inventory analyses that take into account annual quantity, unit price, total annual cost, and the health system's unique activities provide the pharmacist with a practical basis for inventory management.
本文描述了管理药房库存的现代技术。药剂师应依靠现代技术，如基于分类和基于活动的分析，来管理药房库存，包括控制药品成本、进行替换和淘汰分析以及监测卫生系统的运营。单价和数量是两种基本的库存控制方法；然而，现代技术认为数量在这两者中更有用。必须考虑药房活动的主要领域。药剂师必须学会将库存分析问题分解为一系列较小的问题。考虑到年用量、单价、年度总成本以及卫生系统的独特活动的现代库存分析为药剂师提供了库存管理的实际依据。
