本研究是一項針對每日平均門診處方簽1,900張之區域教學醫院所做的藥品存貨管理的實證研究;研究收集連續54個月藥品消耗量的歷史為基本資料,利用時間數列分析藥品消耗型態,並根據各種消耗型態設計相對的存貨管理模組。 結果: 個案醫院以存貨管理模組應用於藥品存貨管理,在個案醫院的實驗組與對照組之間,存貨周轉天數分別為14.96天與24.42天,經ANOVA檢定發現各分組之間具有顯著的差異(P<0.05),實驗組的存貨周轉天數明顯低於對照組的存貨周轉天數。 結論: 根據藥品消耗型態所設計的存貨管理模組可以有效降低存貨周轉天數,改善營運資金,並防止存貨過剩。
This research is an empirical study of medicine inventory management for the regional hospital with average 1,900 items prescriptions per day in outpatient. The study was collected consecutive 54 months history of medicine consumption as the database, and medicine consumption patterns was analyzed with the time series. The inventory modules designed according to various kinds of medicine consumption patterns. Results: The inventory modules was used to medicine inventory management in the case hospital. Between the study group and control group at case hospital, inventory turnover in days is 14.96 days and 24.42 days respectively, test statistic has significant difference between groups by ANOVA test (P<0.05). Inventory turnover in days of the study group are significant lower than control group. Conclusion: The inventory management with inventory modules which designed according to medicine consumption patterns can reduce inventory turnover in days. Improve the working capital, and preventing excess inventory.
