The pharmaceutical industry supply chain has become increasingly complex with the trend of globalization. However, counterfeit drugs and the management of drug distribution quality have always been important issues in the drug supply chain, as these issues can pose a threat to public health, cause harm to patients and cause economic losses to the healthcare system. In order to ensure the quality of drugs from production to the end user, health regulatory authorities around the world are no longer only focusing on drug manufacturing, but also paying attention to the drug distribution process of drug storage, transportation, and sales of drugs. Blockchain technology provides a solution for the drug supply chain, with its traceability, data immutability and higher security. Through blockchain technology, it is possible to track every link in the drug supply chain, including production, repackaging, transportation, storage and sales, increasing the transparency and traceability of the supply chain, thereby preventing counterfeit drugs from entering the legitimate supply chain. Blockchain technology can also enable real-time temperature monitoring and recording of drugs, ensuring the quality and safety of drugs.This study further analyzes and introduces how blockchain technology can be applied in the drug distribution process, using eZTracker as an example. EZTracker is the first platform system in Asia to apply blockchain technology in the drug supply chain, which can not only track and trace drugs in real-time, but also allow all participants to share and exchange data. A service blueprint is used to illustrate the original drug distribution service process in the country and the service process after introducing the blockchain technology system by taking eZTracker as a reference. This study has finds that the application of blockchain technology can help improve the safety, transparency, and efficiency of the drug distribution process through the creation of a service blueprint. Additionally, it can also assist businesses in saving costs, improving speed and responsiveness, reducing errors, increasing trust among cooperation partners, and enhancing customer confidence.參考文獻 中文文獻久裕企業公司 (2023)。久裕企業公司簡介。檢索來源: 久裕企業: http://www.arich.com.tw/big/aboutus.asp。搜尋日期:2023年5月3日。任維廉、呂堂榮、 林佛諭、蔣子萱 (2008)。應用服務藍圖於服務流程管理—以B2B路線貨運業為例。品質學報, 15(5),337-353。卓俊吉 (2004)。我國藥品物流業關鍵成功因素之研究。未出版碩士論文,國立交通大學,交通運輸學系,新竹市。林中豪、謝綺雯、黃琴喨、李明鑫 (2015)。我國推動藥品優良運銷規範(GDP)管理制度與國際接軌之探討。食品藥物研究年報,(6),406-413。林思宇、李昭安 (2017)。冠脂妥偽藥凸顯盤商漏洞老問題。檢索來源: 今週刊 焦點新聞: https://www.businesstoday.com.tw/article/category/80392/post/201703160025/ 。搜尋日期:2023年5月1日。周軍 (2004)。用服務藍圖分析郵政物流的利益點。中國郵政,(9),54-55。金凱、楊睿哲、楊兆鑫、林波、張延華 (2018)。區塊鏈在供應鏈管理上的應用。情報工程, 4(3),29-38。章峰、史博軒、蔣文保 (2018)。區塊鏈關鍵技術及應用研究綜述。網路與資訊安全學報, 4(4), 22-29。國發會綜合規劃處 (2018)。區塊鏈國際趨勢。台灣經濟論衡,16(3),94-105。陳映樺、陳惠芳 (1999)。藥品優良運銷作業規範(GDP)介紹。藥物食品簡訊第337期。曾翌憲 (2022)。區塊鏈技術在食品供應鏈之應用。未出版碩士論文,國立政治大學商學院經營管理碩士學程未,臺北。經濟部工業局 (2022)。2022 生技產業白皮書。經濟部工業局,臺北。嘉裡醫藥物流股份有限公司(2023)。檢索來源: http://www.kerrypharma.com.tw。搜尋日期:2023年5月2日。衛生福利部食品藥物管理署 (2014)。西藥藥品優良製造規範(第三步:運銷)。衛生福利部食品藥物管理署,臺北。衛生福利部食品藥物管理署 (2016)。法規資訊。檢索來源: 衛生福利部食品藥物管理署: https://www.fda.gov.tw/TC/lawContent.aspx?id=2831&chk=3466a21b-2ee0-4012-981d-f8fb0417c0ce¶m=pn=1。搜尋日期:2023年5月6日。衛生福利部食品藥物管理署 (2018)。藥事法。行政院,臺北。衛生福利部食品藥物管理署 (2018)。藥品諮詢窗口Q&A(2018)。衛生福利部食品藥物管理署,臺北。衛生福利部疾病管制署 (2017)。溫度資料收集器(data logger)使用說明。衛生福利部疾病管制署,臺北。鄭曉瓊 (2020)。美國藥品供應鏈安全法案及其啓示。中國醫藥導刊,22(7), 500。戰疫物流系列報導-4 供應鏈阻塞 (2021)。智慧供應鏈下的新藍海 - 物流技術與戰略,第109期。檢索來源: 物流技術與戰略雜誌社: https://www.logisticnet.com.tw/publicationArticle.asp?id=1014。搜尋日期:2023年5月5日。IThome (2019)。臺中榮總、資策會、艾旺公司與亞培公司攜手「醫藥物流區塊鏈平臺」實證成果發表臺灣第一個應用「區塊鏈技術」於「醫藥智慧物流」成功案例。檢索來源: IThome : https://www.ithome.com.tw/pr/135054 。搜尋日期:2023年5月6日。MBA 智庫百科 (2023)。服務藍圖。檢索來源: 全球專業中文經營百科: https://wiki.mbalib.com/zh-tw/%E6%9C%8D%E5%8A%A1%E8%93%9D%E5%9B%BE。搜尋日期:2023年4月26日。英文文獻Agbo, C.
