Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"We searched the entire pharmacy but found that the stock was gone, so we had to urgently obtain supplies from other hospitals."

"A lot of time was wasted in the process, and it almost delayed the patient's treatment."

At this point, Dr. Xia sighed.

Chen Dong keenly sensed the crux of the problem and asked, "Is it because the inventory cannot be displayed in real time?"

"That's right, this is something that can't be done with paper entry."

Dr. Xia nodded and continued, "Because there are two types of inventory entries. One is the small inventory in the pharmacy, which is the shelves in the large room where you pick up the medicine and the cardboard boxes around it."

"Another issue is the hospital's large inventory. The data recorded in these two places are different and it is quite troublesome for them to know each other."

"This situation often occurs when communication is not timely; it happens frequently."

“When I was studying in Shanghai, I saw them using computers to create a spreadsheet and record data in real time.”

"I don't know about the warehouse over there, but I have seen that when the pharmacy's stock of medicines falls below a certain level, they will send someone to the warehouse to get medicines to replenish it."

"I wouldn't say it won't happen once, but it's certainly rare to see such a situation. Unlike here, where problems occur all the time."

Chen Dong nodded in understanding.

Pharmacies have limited stock of medicines due to space constraints, requiring constant monitoring of consumption and inventory levels.

Normally it's fine, but if something happens and there's a shortage of medicine, we need to go to the warehouse to get it, and the time that's wasted can cause a lot of trouble.

Delayed treatment, worsening of the condition, medical malpractice, complaints, or even retaliation, etc.

Humans are not machines; they cannot be perfect most of the time.

With that kind of ability, you wouldn't have been stuck as a lowly warehouse clerk all this time.

Seeing Chen Dong scribbling on the paper, by the time Chen Dong stopped, Dr. Xia had already taken a few bites.

Then, Dr. Xia continued, "And some less commonly used medicines are piling up in the warehouse, taking up space and money."

“Usage rate, frequency of use, inventory quantity, real-time inventory quantity, etc.”

"If there were a system that could monitor drug inventory in real time, allowing pharmacies to get drugs from the warehouse in advance without taking longer than the reserve level, and the warehouse to make timely purchases, that would be wonderful."

Chen Dong nodded in agreement, echoing, "That's absolutely right."

Dr. Xia, holding up her chopsticks, continued, "There's also the doctor scheduling. Right now, it's all done manually, which can easily lead to conflicts or unreasonable situations."

"Some doctors work long shifts in a row. Like Dr. Li last time, he worked two consecutive night shifts and was obviously not in good spirits when he came to work the next day."

"Some schedules are too loose, and some shift changes can't be updated in real time, so people don't know at all and are still looking for that doctor."

"If the software can make suggestions for scheduling based on factors such as doctors' professional expertise and workload, it will greatly reduce the problem of doctors' scheduling."

Chen Dong understood immediately: it was an electronic attendance system.

This system was widely disliked and criticized in the previous life, but no one seemed to consider why it even existed in the first place.

This is because, for a period of time, this system was very advantageous.

The favorable time period is during the transition from paper to electronic computers.

Then, as computers and the internet became widespread in every household, this check-in system became incredibly inefficient and unreliable.

Chen Dong listened attentively while taking careful notes.

Eating while discussing business is a long-standing Chinese tradition.

Chen Dong talked with Dr. Xia for a long time, but he didn't record everything.

Because there are things that are beyond the capabilities of this era.

In the era when 32MB of RAM was common, computer software was not necessarily better the more complete and numerous its functions were.

Instead, we should streamline and only focus on the most important parts.

After dinner, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran met up and accompanied Chu Yu back to her hospital room.

I went to process the discharge at 2 PM when the doctors were on duty.

And take advantage of this time of noon.

Chen Dong arrived at the nurses' station.

The two nurses who remained were sitting together, with nursing records piled up on the table.

Even at lunchtime, they were still busy.

Of course, they had eaten beforehand.

The two nurses were writing hastily on the paper, their faces showing signs of exhaustion.

"Hello, may I bother you for a moment?"

Although Chen Dong knew it wasn't good to disturb them at this time, he had no choice.

When we start work at 2 PM, there are more nurses, but we are also busier.

The two nurses looked up at Chen Dong together, their eyes filled with doubt.

Chen Dong quickly explained his idea of ​​creating a medical management system, and also specifically mentioned that he had already discussed it with Dr. Xia Dong.

Upon hearing this, the younger nurse frowned slightly and said, "If what you're saying is feasible, I really hope there can be a medical management system to help us nurses manage our nursing records."

"As you can see now, we record all this data manually, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to errors."

On the other side, an older nurse chimed in, "Yes, we have to record the patient's vital signs every day, such as temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, as well as nursing care measures, such as changing dressings, turning over, and medication administration. Usually, we need to make several copies of each."

"The attending physician has to see it, the chief physician has to see it, we need to make a copy, and we also need a public announcement. We keep writing."

"If the medical management system you mentioned could really be implemented, and could communicate and transmit data to various doctors and departments for review through computer software, and could also be modified at any time, that would be incredibly convenient."

"At least it will greatly reduce the workload of us nurses, so we don't have to spend a lot of energy writing these things."

"Furthermore, if the software can remind us of precautions such as the timing of medication when changing dressings or giving injections to patients, it can also reduce errors."

"Sometimes when you're busy with work, it's really easy to forget some details."

Chen Dong nodded in understanding and quickly wrote these down in his notebook.

Then I didn't disturb the two nurses' busy work.

Back in the ward, Chen Dong saw Meng Ran helping Chu Yu pack her things, preparing to be discharged and go home.

"Dongzi, how's the research going?"

Mengran carefully put away a piece of clothing, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and asked curiously.

Even Chu Yu, who was standing to the side, was very curious.

Chu Yu had a general idea of ​​what Chen Dong was busy with at the hospital, having heard her daughter Chu Mengran mention it, but she didn't know what it was for.
