This approach is fit for hospitals who do not engage in open information sharing related to internal costs. Neural networks (NNs) and genetic algorithms (GAs) are the core technologies of this distribution approach wherein each hospital's total cost and patient safety level were considered. This paper looks at possible computational results of these technologies, and discusses adjustment strategies for different distribution proportions of medicines to different hospitals.11enAn innovative distribution proportion approach for the medicines in HSCM based on total system cost and patient safetyjournal article
