Özet
In recent years, starting from the pharmacy, in order to meet the medication needs of patients, dispatching to the service points and ending with the application to the patient, there is a risk of heath loss and high cost loss due to drug losses. These losses occur as follows; theft, losing during transport between floors, counting errors, incomplete billing. In particular, drug group losses, known as high risk drugs, which can have a significant impact on the functioning of the body, lead to serious health risks first, followed by financial losses. Due to these losses in hospital inventory, wrong results can be obtained. The developed system is intended to operate exactly at this point. With the use of an electronic drawer, high-risk drugs are controlled by means of specially protected medication pockets and the required safety process can be accessed before each use. In this way, a special measure is taken for high-risk drugs and each process is followed. As a result of all these studies, thanks to the features of the drawer, in installed area, the high-risk drug management is taken under control in a short period of time and the aim was to minimize patient health risk and to reduce the cost of drug losses.
