A 37-bed surgical unit in a Midwestern Medical Center was the site of 30 day trials of three methods of medication delivery: (a) traditional medication cart, (b) patient point-of-view (PPOV1) delivery of regularly ordered medication by a pharmacy technician to the nurse server once a day, and (c) patient point-of-view (PPOV2) delivery of all medications (including stats and i.v.s) to the nurse server hourly between 0700 and 2300 hours. The purpose of this trial was to determine the effects of two alternative pharmacy delivery strategies on labor costs, use of professional nurses' time, and ten quality indicators related to medication administration.
中西部医疗中心一个拥有37张床位的外科病房是三种药物配送方法进行30天试验的场所：(a) 传统药车；(b) 药房技术人员每天一次将常规医嘱药物以患者视角（PPOV1）配送到护士服务站；(c) 药房技术人员在07:00至23:00之间每小时一次将所有药物（包括急救用药和静脉输液药物）以患者视角（PPOV2）配送到护士服务站。本次试验的目的是确定两种替代药房配送策略对劳动力成本、专业护士时间利用以及与药物管理相关的十个质量指标的影响。
