Recently, a video conference on drug registration and production and distribution supervision in Shandong Province was held. The New Yellow River reporter learned that at present, more than 1,500 pharmacies in Jinan have cooperated with third-party platforms for delivery services, and nearly 150 of them provide 24-hour drug purchase and delivery services, serving 600,000 citizens.
It is understood that in 2021, Jinan will actively innovate in the field of drug retailing, and jointly build a drug retailing traceability system through the implementation of the “electronic receipt” system to meet the needs of the masses for “reassuring drugs”; The “dual-remote” system of remote review parties, sharing the convenience of prescription drug sales, meets the needs of the masses for “reassuring drug purchases”. It has achieved a win-win situation among regulators, enterprises and the public, and has made useful explorations in building a demonstration city for safe and secure consumption.
The co-construction of “Electronic Receipt” realizes the traceability of the whole chain of drug retail transportation, distribution and acceptance, guarantees the quality of drug circulation, and achieves a breakthrough in the electronic traceability of drug retail transportation and distribution. At present, more than 3,000 stores of more than 80 drug retail chain enterprises in the city have built electronic receipts in their own computer management systems, replacing the paper version accompanying the goods. The operating cost of the enterprise is reduced, and the operating burden of the enterprise is reduced.
The “dual remote” sharing of prescription review parties realizes accurate traceability of “medicine” to “person” and ensures the safety of prescription drug management. In accordance with the idea of ”advocacy by regulatory authorities, organization by industry associations, and market-oriented operation”, the management model of remote sharing of prescriptions and reviewers will be gradually realized. At present, the city’s remote pharmacy service pharmacies have basically achieved full coverage in the main urban area, ensuring that retail pharmacies have “drugs” that can be sold, and “shared prescription pharmacists” can only be reviewed, and all parties must be reviewed, avoiding the blind area of prescription review supervision.
Supervision, enterprises, and the masses will win together, helping to build a model city for safe and secure consumption. The supervisory department strengthens supervision through “one receipt and two remotes”. Enterprises take the promotion of “Internet + drug circulation” as a favorable measure to serve the development of drug business enterprises, encourage chain enterprises to promote the transformation of new retail strategies, and promote the high-quality development of the drug retail market. Through the organic combination of “one receipt and two remote” and “online ordering store pick-up, online ordering store delivery” 24-hour drug purchase service measures, the masses can enjoy safer, more convenient and accessible pharmacy services. In June 2021, Jinan Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision and a third-party platform jointly launched the “Little Yellow Light” livelihood service plan nationwide, which can deliver urgently needed medicines to their homes 24 hours a day, making it no longer difficult for consumers to buy medicines late at night. At present, more than 1,500 pharmacies in the city have cooperated with third-party platforms for delivery services, and nearly 150 of them provide 24-hour drug purchase and delivery services, serving 600,000 citizens.
