Abstract:
A description of the rationale for the computerization of an Investigational drug service, (IDS) including the potential for benefits in three major areas: (1) policy & procedure, (2) financial analysis, and (3) drug accountability. Through the use of readily available computer software, dispensing, and billing procedures have been streamlined. Software with spreadsheet capability facilitates analysis of the financial status of the IDS. A specially designed software package allows maintenance of the drug account-ability records for investigational protocols.
