From the viewpoint of hospital management, importance of financial management of drugs has been significantly increased. We developed the computerized purchasing and inventory control system by the use of ABC analysis theory. This system was put into practice in Onoda Red Cross Hospital to control the drugs at a ward using personal computer (CPU: 256 KB, Floppy Disk: 2 drive 2 MB) and drug storage at a ward could be successfuly much reduced.
Traditionally, financial managements of drugs in most hospitals in Japan have been limited to drug storage only in pharmacy but it was found that this new system could be enlarged to control all drug storage in hospital and contributive largely toward hospital management.
