Abstract
Hospital pharmacists play a critical role in ensuring safe, accurate, and efficient medication management, but traditional workflow systems often impede optimal productivity due to fragmented communication, manual documentation, and redundant processes. Integrated Workflow Management Systems (IWMS) have emerged as a strategic solution, allowing for seamless coordination among pharmacy, clinical, and administrative functions. This study evaluates the implementation of IWMS in hospital pharmacies and its impact on pharmacist productivity, medication error reduction, and turnaround time. Through a comprehensive review of prior implementations and system integration models, this manuscript identifies key productivity metrics enhanced by IWMS adoption. Furthermore, evidence is drawn from hospital case studies and system audits to demonstrate measurable improvements in workload distribution, real-time tracking, and interdepartmental collaboration. The research supports the hypothesis that IWMS implementation not only boosts pharmacist efficiency but also strengthens patient safety and operational transparency.
