More about this course

On this three-week course from Taipei Medical University, you will explore the different types of medication distribution systems in hospitals and the principle of evaluating drug delivery systems.
Throughout the course, you will be taught by experienced pharmacists from Taipei Veterans General Hospital who will share their clinical experiences. Through these cases, you will see how Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) guidelines are being established in this hospital.
The role of pharmacists has become more diverse over time, with many now providing clinical services. But medication distribution is still an important responsibility of pharmacists, especially in hospital pharmacies.
This course will take you through an introduction to the medication distribution systems used in hospitals, exploring how these systems have evolved. You will then assess each of the four systems, identifying their pros and cons in real-world settings.
Having an effective database of data, knowledge, and information is an important part of the medication-use and patient treatment process.
You will explore pharmacy informatics, what it is, and how to use it to improve the efficiency and safety of medication use. You will also look at how and when to deliver this knowledge to patients in order to educate them on their medications.
This course will guide you through practical examples of how medication distribution is used in Taiwan. You will dive into the standards and requirements of drug delivery systems in hospitals, using Taipei Veterans General Hospital as a case study to show you the real-world use of these systems.
