The closest formula of the medication list: Chinese native medicine preparation division

When work in exploration innovation into a fun, you will think around and there's no other place can be improved.

Zhang chung -

Zhang Cong, 30, this year, after graduating from nanjing university of Chinese medicine in 2009 to work in kunshan city, jiangsu province hospital of TCM, served as pharmacists, and preparation of traditional Chinese medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacists, and t is a technical content is not high. The doctor prescribed medicine, pharmacist dispensed to patients, roadmap; Preparation is also based on wine, step by step. But in the two stranger looks very ordinary post, Zhang Cong use his intelligence, not only improved the dispensing process of informatization, improve the treatment efficiency, also won two national patents, is a fou "draft".

The doctor need not on the pill boxes handwritten orders from now on

The research of traditional Chinese medicine is very deep, in suzhou local there is famous "door YiPa wu". Zhang Cong are very interested in, "but dull jobs." Zhang Cong said, pharmacy department has several, after doctors to prescribe medicine, adjust by pharmacists, means that medicine. On this job for 4 years, Zhang Cong again went to the department of pharmaceutical preparation in hospital, the hospital has 88 homemade Chinese medicine preparations, equivalent to a hospital doing drugs, extract some work." Zhang Cong, said that the process is to traditional Chinese medicine by decoction, separation, the change of the medicinal broth of traditional dosage forms, "people with Chinese traditional medicine after his return to decoction, before will now granules, capsules, oral liquid, etc., easy to carry".

Had been like Zhang Cong, pay attention to work at ordinary times pain points are analyzed. "Before the doctor prescribed medicine, pharmacy medicine, many patients do not know how to use, need to rely on doctors told verbally. Patients with the scene after hearing, may forget to come back, sometimes written in the book of the medicine, but the patient may not notice, may need to come back again asked. The question is longer, but are used to it. Can think method to improve it?" Pharmacy Zhang Cong says, when he and colleagues think, how to solve the problem.

Information age, and need the doctor write orders? Is it possible to convenient patients through alteration information system and hospital? Zhang Cong said, each patient will be automatically printed out after the prescription to the pharmacy, the doctor prescribed medicine several times a day, a clothing pieces, all this medication in the list, when the patient to the pharmacy medicine, the pharmacist gave him medicine, take medicine also give him alone, so it is very convenient, very clear. "This is equivalent to redesign a set of information system, the doctor in outpatient prescriptions, background automatically generated." Zhang Cong said, due to do the work on it, in the innovation process is not complicated, just three months is developed.

After the new distribution system commissioning, does not increase the doctor's workload, and for patients, it is greatly convenient. "Because avoid the problem of the inquiry to medication, doctor order would be better."

With traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy drying cabinet won the national patent

In the eyes of outsiders, Chinese medicine is full of mystery. Nightfall pill, for example, to use a named colly ingredients, an unbelievable. But for preparation division, these proprietary Chinese medicine is a fixed formula, the pharmaceutical work becomes boring repetitive work. "Chinese medicine pharmaceutical can have innovation." This innovation makes Zhang Cong feel a sense of accomplishment.

Kunshan city hospital of traditional Chinese medicine has a good tradition, attaches great importance to clinical research. Hospital set up youth research supporting fund, encourage the staff innovation.

Zhang Cong are deployed to the pharmaceutical preparation workshop, found that after the extraction of traditional Chinese medicine powder drying is a persistent problem. "Because of Chinese traditional medicine powder after be affected with damp be affected with damp, easy to moldy, insect, serious will lose efficacy." But the existing Chinese medicine powder is mostly stand hanging way drying, stand out requires a lot of time, also depends on the weather. And although a factory use dry ark can dry many medicinal materials, but not take the size of small hospital pharmacy equipment. Zhang Cong began to think about, is there a device can at the same time, several Chinese herbal medicine drying, simple structure, convenient in operation and maintenance, "appropriate to small pharmacy drying equipment."

Beginning in 2012, Zhang Cong came up with this idea. One can learn Chinese materia medica pharmacist to invention drying equipment, is not easy to do. For learning Chinese medicine Zhang Cong chemical contact more, the machinery is not familiar with, "equivalent to begin at the beginning." Zhang Cong said, some ideas in mind, will become reality, is very difficult.

Zhang Cong didn't stay in the idea stage. He bought books machinery manufacturing, refer to other drying equipment, meet don't understand the question, he posted online for help. So bit by bit of hard work, he completed the walk from shape, line, etc. A set of drying cabinet design, and on July 8, 2015, won the state intellectual property office utility model patents, a multi-layer application in TCM pharmacy of traditional Chinese medicine powder drying device authorized announcement.

"The results after application to the patent, with a sense of accomplishment. When exploring innovation becomes a pleasure in the work, you will think around and there's no other place can be improved." Zhang Cong began to pay attention to some of the work need to overcome difficulties, and then try to use innovation to change it. After a "all things are difficult before they are easy, there is, the second is relatively simple. The design of the sieving machine is fast, the whole process go down, only a year or so." Zhang Cong said the device, also won the national patent.
