Background : Group-order medicines (GOM) are requirements that have been steadily used in various clinical laboratories at a hospital. Since GOM is not recognized by an individual code, the number of GOM could not be totalized exactly until now. This results in a discrepancy between amount of health insurance claims and purchasing, leads to unreasonable inventory management and associated work, and increases unnecessary cost. We therefore developed a GOM-counting program (GOMP) for three months, from January to March 2016. Methods : The aim of this study was to evaluate a rational GOM-inventory management process through GOMP. We compared the following factors between pre- and post- GOMP application: characteristic value assignment, work process, and registering percentage of GOM-consignment stock. Results : After applying GOMP, the characteristic of GOM was converted from a requisition to prescription medicine. The issuing department was unified, and requisition work was replaced by an automatic electronic process. The amount of claims and purchasing was equalized after implementation of GOMP. The GOM-associated work process reduced to 5 steps compared to previous 8-9 steps. The registering percentage of consignment stock increased greatly, from 17.8% to 91.1%. Conclusion : Accurate aggregation is critical for proper drug inventory management. Application of GOMP in drug inventory management made it possible to streamline the work process, and to properly manage the consignment stock and drug inventory assets.
