CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the introduction
to the study, statement of the problem, aim and objectives of the study,
significance of the study, scope of the study, organization of the research and
definition of terms. Medication therapy is critical in treating and preventing
disease and is an integral part of everyday life for many people. The
pharmaceutical supply chain of manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and
pharmacists, as well as physicians and governments, acknowledge the importance
of having a continuous supply of medications. This makes it very important for
a drug checklist system to be in place to facilitate easy recording and
updating of drug information. With a drug checklist system in place,
pharamacies will be able to update the availability status of drugs. This will
enable them to know if a drug is available or not. However, it is possible
within today’s drug distribution system for glitches to occur, such as
short-term back orders or long-term drug unavailability. The challenge for
health care providers is to provide seamless, equivalent drug therapy at
comparable costs. Assessment requires a critical evaluation of the current
situation and potential impact of the shortage on patient outcomes [1].
When an important drug product is not
available, practitioners will want to know:
- Reasons
for the product’s unavailability
- When
the product will be available
- Options
for obtaining the drug from alternate sources
- Alternate
therapies and their cost consequences
- Related
information needs of health care providers and patients.
1.1
Statement of the Problem
After examination of the existing
system, the following problems were identified:
- Absence
of drug check information system to retrieve information about drugs sold.
- Manual
method of recording drug information.
- Absence
of a comprehensive drug information database system.
1.2
Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of the study is to develop a
drug check list management. The following are the specific objectives:
- To
create a computerized system that can be used to manage drug information.
- To
create or design an information system that will provide detailed
information about available drugs when needed.
- To
create a system that can be used to check the NAFDAC number, prescription
and other vital information of registered drugs.
1.3
Significance of the Study
The study is significant in the
following ways:
- It
will provide an information system that can be used to determine the usage
of registered drugs.
- It
will help in guiding the pharmacy and customers on how to use the drug and
the rules to follow.
- It
will provide an avenue to easily manage drug information.
- The
study will serve as a useful reference material to other researchers
seeking similar information on the subject
1.4 Scope of
the Study
This study covers Drug checklist
management record system using Lily pharmacy in Ikot Ekpene as a case study. It
is limited to the management of vital information pertaining to available drugs
in the pharmacy.
1.5
Organization of Research
This research work is organized into
five chapters. Chapter one is concerned with the introduction of the research
study and it presents the preliminaries, theoretical background, statement of
the problem, aim and objectives of the study, significance of the study, scope
of the study, organization of the research and definition of terms.
Chapter two focuses on the literature
review, the contributions of other scholars on the subject matter is discussed.
Chapter three is concerned with the
system analysis and design. It presents the research methodology used in the
development of the system, it analyzes the present system to identify the
problems and provides information on the advantages and disadvantages of the
proposed system. The system design is also presented in this chapter.
Chapter four presents the system
implementation and documentation, the choice of programming language, analysis
of modules, choice of programming language and system requirements for
implementation.
Chapter five focuses on the summary,
constraints of the study, conclusion and recommendations are provided in this
chapter based on the study carried out.
