Need for the AddDis injection drug mixing and inspection system
Injection drug mixing used to be done by nurses, but recently, from the viewpoint of risk management, it is increasingly done by pharmacists.Pharmacists now perform injection drug mixing in various locations such as satellite NICUs, chemotherapy rooms, and dispensing rooms.As the number of fields where pharmacists play an active role increases, new issues are emerging due to labor shortages.
Issues at sites performing injection drug mixing
Preparation errors
Great care must be taken to avoid risks such as wrong patient, wrong preparation volume, and wrong drug.
Information management
Recording the preparation history, such as who prepared which drug, when, and how much, is a daily burden.
Labor allocation
The inspection of mixed injection drugs requires double checks by more than one pharmacist.Moreover, as the number of locations where pharmacists perform drug mixing services increases, pharmacist staffing has become an issue at many medical facilities.
