One of the more interesting things I have learned in the various hospitals and pharmacies in Thailand is their methods for making pharmacy practice easier.
The facility we visited today, Naresuan University Hospital, on an average day fills 2,600 prescriptions. In order for a facility of this magnitude to operate smoothly, certain work arounds need to be developed.
The pharmacy staff tags all incoming medications with a color coded sticker. The color system helps pharmacy staff quickly and easily identify expired medication thereby minimizing errors and increasing inventory rotation efficiency.
