Abstract

Drug safety has attracted considerable public concern and press attention in recent years. Many precautions have been suggested to ensure the accuracy of drug distribution to patients but the results are not yet fully satisfactory. Enhancement of drug management is undoubtedly a trend to ensure no medication error happen in the healthcare industry, but there is still plenty of room for improvement in this situation. Drug Management System (DMS) is proposed as a platform for the hospital and clinics to explore the drug safety and patient safety. This paper will present the details about DMS for assisting the medical workers in drug replenishing and dispensing process. Also, problems existing in drug safety and benefits bring from DMS are presented.
