ABSTRACT
The traditional intravenous infusion configuration in medical institutions has the shortcomings of long time and low efficiency， and it is difficult to ensure that the dispensed liquid medicine is not contaminated. At the same time， medical staff may be exposed to risks such as cytotoxic drugs due to lack of protection. To solve the defects and deficiencies in intravenous infusion configuration， the “Dolphin 7” pharmacy intravenous compounding robots are introduced in our hospital， cluster management platform is constructed based on data middle platform service exchange system； mini-intelligent PIVAS module is designed and constructed. The mode can reduce the workload of medical staff， save medical construction and labor costs， also help to promote and deepen the construction of intelligent hospitals.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To explore the new management model of Good Clinical Practice （GCP）trial drug dispensing . METHODS：Base on the relevant experience of Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services （PIVAS）in daytime chemotherapy center（“daytime PIVAS ”for short ）of our hospital ，the nodes and other matters needing attention were discussed in the workflow of confirmation and development of drug dispensing tasks for clinical trials. RESULTS ：After the successful approval of the new clinical trial ，the supervisor of the sponsor and the principal investigator should first confirm whether the drugs involved in the project needed to be centrally dispensed in the daytime PIVAS ，and then submitted the relevant data to PIVAS for filing. Daytime PIVAS pharmacists could participate in trial drug dispensing of relevant projects only after starting training and authorization. After the doctor issued the medical order for the subjects in the hospital information system ，the research nurse took the drugs out of the GCP pharmacy and handed them to the daytime PIVAS drug receiving window. After receiving the drugs ，the pharmacist would check the dispensing ，and then the preparation pharmacist trained and authorized by the project team would mix and dispense the drugs. The reviewed pharmacist would check and label the prepared infusion. In addition ，daytime PIVAS would regularly summarize the feedback information on the trial drug dispensing and fund management in all links of dispensing process ，so as to improve the standardization of the process. CONCLUSIONS ：Daytime PIVAS for clinical trial drug can arrange batches more rationally，ensure smooth and orderly infusion ，and meet different drug stability requirements ，which can improve trial drug dispensing management and further promote the development of drug clinical trial projects in China.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE：To establish the infusion sequence regulation procedure of PIVAS，and implement individual regulation. METHODS：By combining factors such as liquid volume of each batch，incompatibility between groups and specific solvents of specific drugs，intelligent prompt system and the artificial intelligent regulation system of infusion sequence were successively established to sequence the therapeutic drugs and adjuvant drugs used for the patients with different diagnoses and different purposes in different inpatient areas in a day，so as to realize intelligent control of individual infusion sequence. From Jan. to Sept. in 2017 and from Jan. to Sept. in 2019 as research stages before and after the intelligent control of individualized infusion sequence，the control effect was evaluated with the proportion of reasonable number of infusion priority cases，the proportion of appropriate number of elderly patients’batch liquid volume cases，the proportion of incompatibility cases between separate groups， the number and cost of flushing tubes as index. RESULTS：After regulating infusion sequence individually，the proportion of reasonable infusion priority rose from 5.56％ to 98.72％ ；the proportion of batch liquid quantity appropriate cases in elderly patients rose from 9.58％ to 98.10％；the proportion which separated the incompatibility between groups rose from 41.03％ to 99.12％；the number of washing tube dropped to（0.95±0.43）times/ward/d from（12.95±0.57）times/ward/d；the cost of washing tube could be saved 85 800 yuan/year. CONCLUSIONS：The implementation of individualized infusion sequence regulation promote safe and effective infusion，and provide reference for pharmacists of PIVAS in China to carry out precise pharmaceutical care.
