    Establishing priorities for hospital pharmacy computer systems involves creating a priority list, categorized Request for Proposal (RFP), and RFP extension. This structured approach ensures vendor selection based on critical factors like software quality and vendor support for optimal system implementation.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Computer Science in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Implementing a new hospital pharmacy computer system requires a systematic vendor selection process.
    • Effective prioritization is crucial for acquiring a system that meets functional and operational needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a comprehensive process for establishing priorities and distributing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a prospective hospital pharmacy computer system.
    • To outline a method for evaluating and selecting suitable computer vendors.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of three key documents: a priority list, a categorized RFP, and a categorized RFP extension.
    • Prioritization of vendor selection criteria including software quality, hardware reliability, vendor stability, cost, and support.
    • Initial vendor screening via standardized questioning to eliminate unacceptable products before RFP distribution.

    Main Results:

    • The priority list details essential vendor selection criteria.
    • The categorized RFP assigns importance levels (mandatory, highly important, important, luxury) to specific system requirements.
    • The RFP extension provides a framework for evaluating non-implementation aspects and vendor capabilities beyond the core RFP.

    Conclusions:

    • This systematic approach ensures the selection of a hospital pharmacy computer system with required functions and reliable performance.
    • The process facilitates the identification of stable vendors capable of providing comprehensive support during and after implementation.
