Abstract
The narcotic drug management system using drug information stored in electronic medical cards has been introduced by many medical facilities. The recording of the history of narcotics handling, such as delivery and returning, is essential for the management of narcotic drugs. However, the hitherto used system was hard to use for recording the handling history in detail. The new system developed by us was designed so as to record the handling history including the information on “drug execution (actual administration)” and “drug request (prescription)” in the electronic card with ease. Using the order number and bar code of narcotic drugs in the card, the new system made it possible to prepare the narcotic book precisely and efficiently. The introduction of this system in our hospital has brought about a significant improvement in the management of narcotic drugs.
