<p>　In recent dispensing tasks, efficiency and safety are improved by using various support systems. However, there are few reports on the development of a support system that manages all operations collectively in hospital formulation preparation. Therefore, we have developed the “task support system of hospital formulation” for the purpose of collectively managing the hospital formulation preparation tasks and evaluated the usefulness. The database was configured with raw materials, intermediate products, pharmaceutical products, and equipment masters. The system has a function that enables barcode entry/exit and lot management. The master of the preparation procedure was registered, and the standardization of the preparation was attempted by introducing the weight inspection and the imaging function. After preparation, a label printed with information on hospital formulations and a preparation record sheet are automatically issued to enable inventory control. As an evaluation of the system, the time required for the pharmacist to prepare the hospital formulation when the system was used and not used was measured. The preparation time required when using the system was significantly reduced for all item compared to when not using. It was considered that as a result of the introduction of this system, safety was secured and task operations were improved by standardizing the preparation procedure.</p>
