Background: Controlled substances require strict life cycle management, but manual workflows can lead to documentation errors, traceability gaps, and delays in empty-ampoule recovery. Objective: This study aimed to construct a quantifiable 3D closed-loop framework integrating technology, process redesign, and organizational accountability and to examine whether implementation was temporally associated with changes in controlled substance process indicators. Methods: A single-center pre-post quality improvement study was conducted in a #healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Electronic #medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) stage 7 hospital. The preintervention period was September 2024 to November 2024, and the postintervention period was December 2024 to February 2025. The intervention combined unique drug identifiers, personal #digital assistant (PDA)–based bedside verification, smart medication cabinets, predispensing prescription review rules, batch-number traceability, daily reconciliation, tiered alerts, staff training, and anomaly-handling standard operating procedures (SOPs). Outcomes were prescription dispensing record compliance, batch-number management noncompliance, failure to complete empty-ampoule recovery and electronic documentation within 24 hours, and implementation fidelity. Proportions were reported with Wilson 95% CIs. Between-period absolute differences and 95% CIs were calculated using the Wald normal approximation for independent proportions. Comparisons used the chi-square test or Fisher exact test, as appropriate. Results: The analysis included 3264 prescription dispensing records before implementation and 3311 prescription dispensing records after implementation. Prescription dispensing record compliance increased from 94.82% (3095/3264) to 98.7% (3268/3311). Batch-number management noncompliance decreased from 2.4% (24/1000) to 0.6% (6/1000). The rate of failure to complete empty-ampoule recovery and electronic documentation within 24 hours decreased from 5.61% (68/1213) to 0.78% (10/1274). Implementation fidelity indicators generated from operational logs were high across system stability, scanning execution, and anomaly closure. Conclusions: Implementation of the 3D closed-loop framework was temporally associated with improvements in controlled substance process indicators in a #digitally mature hospital. The implementation parameters may serve as a reference for local feasibility testing in other wards or institutions, but transferability remains to be evaluated. Multicenter studies are still needed to confirm sustainability and transferability.

Malaysia's Institut Jantung Negara hit HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7, using that data foundation to predict patient outcomes and healthcare costs. The cardiac hospital now forecasts length of stay, readmission risk, and procedure-level expenses for individual patients.
