An Experimental Drug Inventory Management System Used in Research Centers

Abstract

The invention provides an investigational drug inventory management system applied to research centers, the system comprising a processor and a computer readable storage medium. The system can implement the following steps: judging whether current inventories E of various investigational drugs in a research center are all greater than or equal to a preset safe inventory V of the research center in real time; if not, obtaining the current inventory E and historical data of use of each investigational drug in the research center, and calculating the predicted total number L of dropout people in a prediction period T according to the preset warehouse prediction period T; according to the number N of drugs a preset subject takes upon each visit and a subject visit period of P weeks, calculating the number S of visits in the prediction period of enrolled subjects, the number U of visits in the prediction period of to-be-enrolled subjects and the total number R of drugs to be taken; calculating the drug supply quantity Q in the prediction period; generating a drug transport list according to which warehouses supplement the inventories of the investigational drugs for the research center.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of inventory management and control, in particular to an experimental medicine inventory management system used in a research center. Background technique [0002] Drug clinical research is a trial that uses a huge amount of drugs, and each drug must be transported from the warehouse to each research center or hospital, and then sent from the research center to the subjects before being used. [0003] Due to the extremely expensive experimental consumables used in clinical research (including drugs, or medical gauze, syringes, artificial corneas and other experimental equipment), the conditions for transportation and storage are very harsh, and the overall cycle of drug trials is long and the number of subjects is limited. Many, different test consumables require different visit cycles for subjects, and the number of subjects will change according to different situations, so it is difficult to predict the number of su...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to the extremely expensive experimental consumables used in clinical research (including drugs, or medical gauze, syringes, artificial corneas and other experimental equipment), the conditions for transportation and storage are very harsh, and the overall cycle of drug trials is long and the number of subjects is limited. Many, different test consumables require different visit cycles for subjects, and the number of subjects will change according to different situations, it is difficult to predict the number of supplementary test consumables

For example, if the hospital orders too much, the cost will be too high, and it will also face the problem of saving medicines; if it orders less, it will be difficult to meet the requirements of the test. If the test is interrupted due to insufficient medicines, it may affect the final test results. Even the entire drug trial must be redone, which will cause serious economic losses

[0004] In addition, the distance between different warehouses and hospitals is uncertain and the transportation conditions are different, resulting in different transportation cycles for supplementary test consumables from warehouses to each hospital. Therefore, it is also difficult for warehouses to determine suitable supplementary test consumables for each hospital. quantity
