& Nbsp In foreign countries, pharmacy automation is a common medical system, while in China, information networks have only been introduced in large hospitals. In the process of exploring pharmacy automation, although this emerging thing is still in the early stages of development in China, industry insiders believe that the next decade will be a decade of rapid development of pharmacy automation in China
The market capacity of pharmacy informatization exceeds 100 billion yuan, with a zero difference, which may constrain the development of the industry
& Nbsp On April 11, 2013, Beijing Huakang Chengxin Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of pharmacy automation equipment, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Schneider Electric China Co., Ltd. to strengthen cooperation in the fields of pharmacy automation and industrial automation. Liu Guilin, General Manager of Beijing Huakang Chengxin Medical Technology Co., Ltd., introduced at the press conference that there are currently 30000 hospitals in China, but less than 200 have implemented pharmacy automation. The future market space is huge, and the market capacity may reach 120 billion yuan
& Nbsp At present, China's medical reform is promoting information technology construction, emphasizing the improvement of service efficiency. Pharmacy informatization is an important part of the medical informatization process. However, Feng Xin, the director of the pharmacy department at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, expressed some concerns about the informatization process of pharmacies. "Currently, 5 hospitals in Beijing have implemented drug zero margin reform, and hospitals no longer profit from drugs. In this situation, some hospitals may not be able to guarantee investment in pharmacies." Drug zero margin refers to the amount of money that drugs are sold to patients when they enter the hospital, and hospitals cannot increase prices. In this case, the costs incurred by hospitals in the storage and management of drugs will not be compensated through drug profits. ". The investment in automated pharmacies is a significant expense. Zhang Fucheng, Director of the Pharmacy Department of the Air Force General Hospital, explained that a domestic rapid dispensing system is usually priced at around 23 million yuan. A hospital with 3000 beds requires about two units, and with supporting equipment, the entire outpatient pharmacy automation system is priced at around 56 million yuan per set. In China, labor costs are relatively low, and hospital managers may face increased cost concerns after achieving a comprehensive zero error rate
