A simple automated drug distribution system is described. To reduce errors generated by a traditional system, a system was implemented which required (1) writing three computer programs, (2) installing a cathode ray tube terminal and a split-pattern character printer in the pharmacy, and (3) designing a new piggyback medication label. Under the new system reorders per order were reduced by 24% (indicating that the number of unnecessary orders had been minimized) and credits per order or reorder increased 7%.
