The pharmacy computer system designed, developed, and implemented at The Ohio State University Hospitals is described. The computer system was developed to make more efficient use of hospital facilities and professional staff time. The pharmacy system operates on the mainframe hospital system using computer terminals with light-pen and keyboard access. Current online applications include order entry, patient profiles, pharmacokinetic calculations, and preparation of unit dose cart fill lists. Batch processing functions include drug-use review, drug-drug interactions, and financial management reports. Approximately 95% of unit dose orders and 20% of i.v. orders are conditionally entered by pharmacy technicians for subsequent verification by pharmacists. The system saves considerable staff time in the i.v. admixture and billing areas and has relieved pharmacists from performing many clerical and repetitive tasks. Disadvantages of the system include (1) its dependence on another department for patient admission, transfer, and discharge information and (2) delays in obtaining approval for program modifications and new applications. The advantages of the pharmacy computer system lie in its ability to access information from other computerized databases in the hospital. Future modifications and enhancements to the system are discussed.
本文介绍了俄亥俄州立大学医院设计、开发并实施的药学计算机系统。该计算机系统的开发旨在更高效地利用医院设施和专业人员的时间。药学系统在医院主机系统上运行，通过带有光笔和键盘的计算机终端进行访问。当前的在线应用包括医嘱录入、患者资料、药代动力学计算以及单位剂量推车填充清单的编制。批处理功能包括用药审查、药物相互作用和财务管理报告。约95%的单位剂量医嘱和20%的静脉注射医嘱由药学技术人员有条件地录入，随后由药剂师进行核对。该系统在静脉药物混合和计费领域节省了大量员工时间，并使药剂师从许多文书和重复性任务中解脱出来。该系统的缺点包括：（1）依赖另一个部门获取患者入院、转科和出院信息；（2）获得程序修改和新应用批准存在延迟。药学计算机系统的优势在于能够从医院的其他计算机化数据库中获取信息。文中还讨论了该系统未来的修改和改进。
