Example: The following is a statistical table of the daily flow of goods in a 200-bed hospital, from which we can understand the heavy volume of hospital logistics transmission.

< > within the symbols denotes the percentage of items transmitted to the total amount of transmitted volume
( ) within the symbols denotes timed transmission as a percentage of the total amount of transmitted volume Example: Yokohama City College of YOKOHAMA CITY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
The main structure of this hospital is one floor below ground and ten floors above ground, **** 623 beds in 21 departments. The volume of items transferred in this hospital is about 2,500 times a day. In the past, all manual transmission, an average of each transmission takes about ten minutes. The workload is: 2,500 times x 10 minutes/transfer = 25,000 minutes = 417 hours, and it is necessary to employ more than 50 workers who work full-time for 8 hours to complete the daily transfer of items, and it is inefficient. You can imagine how chaotic it is to have more than 50 people transferring things in a hospital at a moment's notice, while also wasting the efficiency of the elevator. Example: China's nurses are equipped with a very low proportion of & "three points of treatment, seven points of governance"
05 August, the second national nursing work conference was held, the Ministry of Health, in particular: the ratio of hospital beds and nurses should be no less than 1:0.4, that is, at least one of the three patients should be equipped with a nurse. In fact, as early as 1978, the Ministry of Health requires that the ratio of hospital beds to nurses should reach 1:0.4. However, this standard set more than 20 years ago is still only "on paper". Even at the national level, according to statistics at the end of 2004, China had an average of 1.0 nurses per 1,000 people, ranking third from the bottom in the world, and the average ratio of hospital beds to nurses nationwide, as announced by the relevant authorities in August, was 1:0.33.
The fact is that the problem of nurses in hospitals in various localities is even more serious than this data suggests. And the number of nurses has a major impact on the quality of care. U.S. research has found that the mortality rate of critically ill patients is closely related to the number of nurses caring for them; if a nurse cares for 4-6 patients, the patient mortality rate is higher than 14%; if the number of patients cared for is increased to 8, the patient mortality rate will rise to 30%. In other words, for every additional patient a nurse takes care of, the patient mortality rate rises by 7%. Domestic experts also tend to think: three parts treatment, seven parts nursing.
This is a staggering figure, but in the context of the current domestic healthcare reform, the pressure on hospitals to survive is increasing. Increasing the number of nurses can improve the quality of care, but at the same time, it will also bring about an increase in the cost of doing business. In this case, minimizing the workload of nurses outside of patient care and improving work efficiency is the only way to solve this problem. A large part of this workload is the delivery of goods, such as specimens, blood products, medicines, consumables, and reports. How much time could be saved to serve patients if nurses were freed from the task of delivering items?
From the above cases, we can see that the hospital's logistics transmission work is heavy, need to be equipped with a large number of laborers, increasing the hospital's operating costs, at the same time, occupies a large number of nurses' nursing time, seriously affecting the hospital's medical quality. The emergence of pneumatic pipe logistics transmission system, to solve the problem of automatic transmission of hospital goods, to help hospitals reduce staff to increase efficiency, improve the efficiency of nurses, nurses back to the patient, to help hospitals really realize the "patient-centered".
