Case Study - SHKL helps a Beijing Hospital realize delivery safety for special drugs

SHKL is now running a project with a national reputable hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) in Beijing to help improve the distribution safety of the special drugs in the hospital. This hospital has been founded since 1921 and is designated as one of the national hospitals to diagnose and treat severe and complicated diseases. This project is in response to the new mandate stipulated by SFDA of the state in 2007 to step up a stricter control of the special drugs distribution in China.

Poisons, psychiatric medication and temperature sensitive agents such as vaccines are classified as the special drugs in China that have to be under close monitoring during the dispensing process. The project aims at improving the visibility and traceability for the entire drug distribution process in a bid to ultimately improve patient safety and the overall supervision quality and standards.

We use passive RFID with EPC Gen2 specification as the core technology for this deployment. RFID kiosks were set up in warehouse and pharmacies to perform instant check-in/ checkout for the inventory. Handheld readers were used at the mobile points of work in the hospital such as clinics, patient wards and emergency rooms. With this system in place, the distribution route, drug status, handling persons and the duration can be clearly observed in the system. Hospital can gain control of the entire delivery process and take the precautionary actions well before the problems actually evolved, thanks to the alert system that can send out warning for those delivery exceeds the normal duration.

Though the client is still familiarizing himself with this automated system since its debut two month ago, they are satisfied with the performance and considering extending it to prescription or high valued drugs in the future.

To learn more, please contact Mr. Warwick So, SHKL at WarwickSo@schmidtelectronics.com for more details.
