Chapter 4

At present, a wide network of medical and preventive treatment institutions (MPU) has been created in our country: hospitals, dispensaries, polyclinics, maternity hospitals, etc.

The main function of the HCI pharmacy is to manufacture and dispense, according to the requirements (prescriptions), medicines ordered by certain units of the HCI, to dispense finished medicines, dressings, patient care items, medical instruments and other medical supplies. Thus, the scope of work of HCI pharmacies is wider than that of pharmacies serving the population, since they supply this institution not only with the usual pharmacy assortment, but also with reagents, surgical and other instruments, medical equipment, etc.

Pharmacies of health care facilities are divided into categories depending on the number of beds in a hospital (Table 4.2).

The technology for the manufacture of medicines in the pharmacies of health care facilities is no different from pharmacies serving the population, therefore, the staff units in them are the same, with some exceptions. Thus, in the pharmacies of health care facilities there is a position of a pharmacist-clinician, a pharmaceutical inspector, a head of a gas-balloon economy and an engineer (technician) for the repair of equipment.

In terms of the volume of work performed in pharmacies of healthcare facilities, 40-50% are requirements for sterile dosage forms (in pharmacies serving the population - 5%). In this regard, the set of premises and their sizes are somewhat different from those in self-supporting pharmacies serving the population (Table 9.3).

Pharmacies of healthcare facilities, as well as pharmacies serving the population, have production, auxiliary (for storage), administrative and household premises; They are placed on the first floor in compliance with the relevant sanitary and hygienic requirements. These rooms should be convenient for reception and storage. a large number medical property, placement of mechanization, equipment and pharmacy furniture.

An important sanitary-hygienic and anti-epidemic requirement is the reliable isolation of the premises of the HCI pharmacy from the treatment and diagnostic departments intended for the stay of patients, but at the same time, the pharmacy must have a convenient, safe connection with the hospital departments in terms of pollution and infection. It is most expedient to place a pharmacy in the main building of the hospital or in a separate building. In this case, the pharmacy must have basement and good access roads. Pharmacies of large clinical hospitals and multidisciplinary health facilities have special room, consisting of two rooms with a total area of ​​45-50 m 2 for small-scale production of tablets and ampoules. The pharmacy of the health care facility is responsible for supplying hospitals with oxygen and other gases. In this case, the pharmacy provides for the construction of a central oxygen station. There are no medical facilities in pharmacies trading floor; instead, there is a waiting room intended for medical personnel who come to the pharmacy from one or another department (hospitals, clinics, etc.) in order to deliver requirements, applications, prescriptions and receive prepared medicines or goods medical purpose. Unlike pharmacies serving the population, the pharmacies of healthcare facilities have a prescription-forwarding office, which performs a large amount of work on receiving and fulfilling requirements and prescriptions. In addition, health care facility pharmacies are distinguished by the presence of a large (total area from 80 to 120 m 2) well-equipped aseptic unit for the preparation of a large number of sterile drugs. A separate room for a pharmacist-analyst is not provided in the pharmacies of healthcare facilities. In the assistant's office there is a pharmacist-analyst's table with the necessary equipment for physical and chemical analyses. These pharmacies are equipped with two washing rooms (rooms for processing dishes). One of them is designed for receiving, sorting and processing dishes prepared for eye drops and other sterile injectable solutions, the other is for collecting, processing and sorting ordinary pharmacy glassware and pharmacy equipment. The pharmacy has a large number of pantries for special purposes.

Modern people have a clear idea about pharmacies. But what are the types and functions of pharmacy organizations? Not everyone knows about it. Their activities are regulated and controlled by legislative acts and internal affairs bodies. We live in a state of law, where physical and legal entities obliged to abide by the laws. Pharmacy activity is also regulated by several laws, acts and other documents.

Pharmaceutical activity

The article will describe pharmacy organizations, their types, Comparative characteristics and others important points this area. This term refers to companies that carry out retail, manufacture and dispensing of medicines.

As for retail, this is a type of trade and provision of services to customers for personal, family, home purposes, which have nothing to do with entrepreneurial activity.

List of such companies:

  • pharmacy points;
  • pharmacy kiosks;
  • pharmacies;
  • pharmacy stores.

Based on external and functional characteristics, existing species pharmacy organizations have their own characteristics and differ from each other. As a rule, trading outside the premises of the pharmacy is prohibited. This suggests that the pharmacist does not have the right to sell medicines and other products outside of a specialized company.

Types of pharmacies

  1. Pharmacies that are created to serve the population. Such establishments sell both narrow and general medicines. They may have their own assortment, which is spelled out in their classification. For example, homeopathic pharmacies have a range of products of this direction and specialize in their sale. Profile activities are different. For example, an oncology pharmacy produces and sells drugs designed to fight cancer.
  2. Hospital pharmacies. At every medical institution has its own pharmacy. In any case, she should be there.

In this area, as in any other, it is important to know the laws and apply them correctly. Some unscrupulous implementers, taking advantage of the legal illiteracy of people, do not provide proper services to the population, taking into account the law. Therefore, in addition to the book of complaints and suggestions, any type of pharmacy organizations must have the specified document in the consumer's corner. This is necessary so that the visitor to the pharmacy can easily study it. The order on the approval of the types of pharmacy organizations is also necessary for periodic acquaintance with it directly by pharmacy workers. This is understandable, since the norms prescribed in it will help to better cope with their duties.

Functions of pharmacies
