To evaluate the dispensing and administration processes in hospital settings in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire based on the annual ASHP national survey was distributed among 35 hospitals. The response rate was 60%. After a follow-up period of 6 months, the final questionnaire was collected in November 2019. : The survey had a 60% response rate. Most surveyed hospitals have centralized pharmacies (76.2%). Few hospitals reported the use of the Bar Code Medication Administration BCMA system (19.0%) to verify doses during dispensing, and only 28.6% use automated dispensing cabinets. The main method to check unit doses in pharmacies is the "technician fills/pharmacist checks" method, as reported by 76.2% of hospitals. The new technologies in the field of healthcare are impacting the practice of medication distribution. Hospital pharmacies in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia are implementing many changes to improve the medication-use system. However, more work has to be done to follow the leaders in the area of pharmacy practice.
为评估沙特阿拉伯吉达市医院环境中的配药和给药流程，基于美国卫生系统药师协会（ASHP）年度全国调查的问卷在35家医院中进行了分发。回复率为60%。经过6个月的随访期后，最终问卷于2019年11月收集。该调查的回复率为60%。大多数接受调查的医院设有集中药房（76.2%）。很少有医院报告在配药时使用条形码给药系统（BCMA）来核对剂量，只有28.6%的医院使用自动发药柜。76.2%的医院报告称，药房检查单位剂量的主要方法是“技术人员调配/药师核对”方法。医疗保健领域的新技术正在影响药品分发实践。沙特阿拉伯吉达市的医院药房正在进行许多变革以改善用药系统。然而，在药学实践领域仍需付出更多努力以追赶领先者。
