  • Title: An exchange cart supply-distribution system employed on an institution-wide basis.
    Author: Coarse JF, Pierpaoli P.
    Journal: Hosp Pharm; 1980 Aug; 15(8):399-406. PubMed ID: 10309240.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a drug distribution system developed for replenishment of stock supplies for hospital patient-care units, ambulatory care areas, and clinical support service areas. The method employed, a modified exchange cart system in which duplicate sets of supplies are exchanged at regular and predetermined intervals, utilizes unit-of-use packaging whenever feasible and is an extension of our centralized unit dose drug distribution system. Various supply-distribution techniques and inventory surveillance and control techniques, as well as cost identification and charge recovery procedures, are discussed.
