Notice of Launch of Distribution Management System for Large Medical Institutions,ENIFwin Nex-Sus
TOHO HOLDINGS CO., LTD. is pleased to announce that TOHO SYSTEM SERVICE CO., LTD., awholly owned subsidiary of TOHO HOLDINGS and headquartered in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo (hereinafter“Toho System Service”), has developed and launched the ENIFwin Nex-Sus, an integrated distribution
management system designed for large medical institutions.
Toho System Service, a company engaged in the development of pharmaceutical systems including inventory
management systems, has marketed its products to medical institutions in collaboration with TOHOPHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD. (hereinafter “Toho Pharmaceutical”) for more than 25 years. In recentyears, the company’s ENIFwin system has established its position as a reliable brand, as supported by the factthat in excess of 400 medical institutions across the country, including national hospitals affiliated with
National Hospital Organization, have installed the system. In order to meet diverse needs of large medical
institutions, its major clients, a new system, ENIFwin Nex-Sus, has been added to the product line-up of both
Toho System Service and Toho Pharmaceutical.
Introduced in line with a hospital information system (HIS), a distribution management system for use in alarge medical institution is generally supplied by major computer manufacturers. However, such distribution
management systems supplied by major computer manufacturers have failed to earn high levels of customer
satisfaction; because they need to be operated after implementing modification including customization inaccordance with operations of individual large medical institutions, it requires time for the system to takeoff. In contrast to this, through the application of inventory management know-how cultivated for many years
to the development of a new in-hospital distribution management system, Toho System Service and Toho
Pharmaceutical provide ENIFwin Nex-Sus as a full-scale package system that integrates the management ofmedical supplies, including pharmaceuticals, medical materials, and reagents, etc., which are managed undervarious types of managerial features.
1. Brand Name「ENIFwin Nex-Sus」
A coined name created to express our hope that ENIFwin will help its users become winners andachieve the “next success” in medical management.
2. Key Concept“To achieve “next success” in medical management by innovating in-hospital distribution – ENIFwin
Nex-Sus”
3. Major New Functions and Functional Enhancement(1) Management through setting up multiple management warehouses
The system can set up multiple history-management departments and stratify management
warehouses. For example, departments such as a dispensary can be separately set up under apharmaceutical management warehouse as a management warehouse in charge of historymanagement.
(2) Compatibility with multiple pharmaceuticals management code systems

Handy terminals designed for pharmaceuticals management can read GS1 (RSS), JAN, andEAN128 codes, which will be put to full-scale use from this point onward. They are capable ofreading second-generation barcodes as well as expiration dates contained in GS1 Limited (RSSLimited) codes.
(3) Replenishment orders from departments available through web browser (option)
Replenishment orders can be made from hospital wards to management warehouses(pharmaceuticals warehouses or medical material warehouses) through web browser (such as IE7)
using network clients (such as ordering terminals) set up at the wards. In addition, the processing
status of their orders can be checked at the hospital wards.
(4) Enhancement of security measures and authorization management
As a business system, security measures consist of ID passwords of each management warehouseand access to work scopes limited to authorized administrators. An ID log kept by the systemenables users to trace back the timing of data entry. Another function, automatic logon by means ofIC cards, can be added on an optional basis.
(5) Ordering system under closed environment
In order to avoid security risks stemming from outside intrusion due to a constant connection to theinternet, the ordering system has adopted a dial-up type Internet environment technology thatenables users to go online only at the time of order placement.
(6) Enhancement of medical material management functions
Compared with the existing ENIFwin medical material management system, cost management andconsignment inventory management functions have been enhanced. Particularly, the system makes
the operational systems for barcode cards and barcode seals flexible, tailored to requirements ofeach medical institution. As the system has adopted a card reader capable of accurately reading eventhose barcode cards smudged or worn during operation, it enables users to reduce expenses for
consumable supplies at the time of operation.
(7) Enhancement of data exchange function
The system has been designed to allow data interactions with ordering and electronic health record
systems at large medical facilities and data supply to medical management analysis systems adopted
by each facility.
(Prior arrangement with individual vendors is required for data interaction.)
