3)Pharmacy controlled patient issue system
This document discusses various methods of drug dispensing to inpatients in hospitals. It describes four main systems: individual drug order system, floor stock system, combined individual/floor stock system, and unit dose distribution system. The floor stock system involves storing drugs on patient floors while the unit dose system dispenses single doses from a central pharmacy. Newer methods like automated dispensing cabinets aim to improve efficiency by electronically transmitting orders and dispensing medications directly from computerized cabinets. Overall the document provides an overview of traditional and emerging approaches to delivering medications to hospitalized patients.
I. Drug distribution in hospitals can be either in-patient distribution, which involves transferring drugs from storage to patients' bedsides, or out-patient distribution for non-admitted patients.
II. There are several systems for drug distribution, including individual prescription ordering, complete floor stock systems, unit dose systems, and non-floor stock systems.
III. Proper control and documentation of drug distribution is important, especially for controlled substances, to prevent errors and misuse while ensuring patients receive needed treatment.
Drug distribution is defined as, "Physical transfer of drugs from storage area in the hospital to the patient's bedside".
This involves two types of drug distribution. They are:
In-patient distribution
Out-patient distribution
The drug distribution to the in patient department can be carried out from the out patient dispensing area.
The pharmacists involved in dispensing the drugs for out patient can dispense drugs for in patients too.
The pharmacist employed for drug distribution to the in patient wards should be well skilled and qualified staff.
Out patient refers to the patients not occupying beds in hospital or in clinics, health centers and other places where out patients usually go for health care.
No medicaments should be issued without the prescription.
After the issue has been made the quantities supplied must be recorded.
In short form the out patient department was called as OPD.

HOSPITAL PHARMACY
It is used in those hospitals , where patients have to pay for their hospitalization. In this system,
their primary mean is to dispense the drugs according to individual prescription order system.
Today most of the hospital uses this system. Some hospital modifies it to include the use of
unit dose medications.

• Preserves space in nurshing units by removing bulky floor stock.
Dispensing procedure in unit dose system:
This system could be followed by two ways: centralized unit dose distribution system [cudds]
and de- centeralized unit dose distribution system[dcudds]
A)centralized unit dose system:
In this system, all the drugs are stored in central area of pharmacy and the drugs are dispensed
to all inpatients in unit doses. To operate the delivery system effectively, various medicatio n
carts are used to transport unit doses to the paitents and to forward a copy of the physician
original medications order to the pharmacy for the direct explanation and filling.
B) decentralized unit dose system:
Unlike the centeralized system , decenteralized unit dose system function through small
satellite pharmacies which are located on each floor of the hospital. In this system , the core
pharmacy becomes a procurement , manufacturing ,storage and packaging center which
provides all medicine to all the satelites pharmacies. To delivery process of this system is
accompolised by the use of medications carts. Such type of system can be used for a hospital
with separate buildings.

number of diseases so the concept of satellite pharmacy is adopted in such hospital
which have multi-stored building in a single premises.
• Every day in morning as well as evening it become very difficult to cope up with
distribution of drug to all the wards. So such cases hospital runs satellite pharmacy
in the form of mini pharmacies, which is situated on each floor.
• According to the hospital policies few days stock of medicine is stored in hospital.
While main pharmacy supplies all medicine to satellites pharmacies.
