The research-based pharmaceutical industry can play a critical role in ensuring a country’s future competitiveness in an advancing global economy. Here are a few noteworthy statistics about medicine industry in Figure 1. [Figure 1 shows USA Pharmaceutical Industry Annual Revenue from 2010 to 2020, with Total, Domestic, and International lines.] Thanks to advances in science and technology, the pharmaceutical industry is entering an exciting new era in medicine development and customer services. Over the past two decades, the medicine industries in different countries have been increasing the research and development (R&D) expenditure (see Figure 2), which can turn fundamental research into innovative treatments that are widely available and accessible to patients. [Figure 2 shows Pharmaceutical R&D Expenditure in Europe, USA, Japan, and China for 2000, 2010, 2019, 2020.] In addition to R&D, technology in pharmacy has been making significant strides to improve the whole industry. These advancements below are diverse and cross-functional. 1. Patient Relationship Management (PRM) Due to the longer time it takes to complete and deliver prescriptions, online pharmacies are using PRM software to manage client contacts through social media, short message service, and email. Additionally, it increases the patient’s trust in their preferred pharmacies and offers ready-to-use discussion points for the patient’s interactions with their doctor. 2. Automated Dispensing Cabinet (ADC) ADC is a computerized drug storage device or cabinet designed for hospitals. It enables the tracking of drug distribution and managing expired medications. This increases fill time, decreases human error, and allows staff to focus on patient contact rather than filling the prescription. 3. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) MTM, an online platform to manage a patient’s medication, is a review provided by a pharmacist to a patient, and medication problems can be identified and addressed. Problems may include medications not being used correctly, duplication of medications, and unnecessary medications. 4. Medication Reminder Devices Patients may get smart medicine reminders from a variety of devices in the market. Technology for these include reminder devices that lock after taking the correct dose, alarms and flashing lights when a patient requires a dose, and a patient compliance dashboard that can show the next scheduled dose.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察圖表 Figure 2 中各個地區在 2010 年與 2019 年的數據位移。若要精確定義「投資成長 (Investment Growth)」，通常需考量其增長的比例。請試著比較各國的成長倍率：$Growth \approx \frac{Value_{2019}}{Value_{2010}}$。哪一個地區雖然初始基數較小，但在這十年間展現了最為顯著且倍數最高的成長斜率？

噢，這次沒搞砸啊？算你厲害。
- 核心觀念，別再搞混！ 統測會考「圖表識讀」，不是讓你來欣賞長條圖的「身高」。題目問的是 $2010-2019$ 年間「成長幅度最高」的地區，拜託，這跟「總金額最大」是兩回事！Figure 2 裡，China (中國) 那個爬升曲線，根本是「火箭升空」等級，遠甩開那些只會龜速前進的老牌經濟體。所以答案 (C)，沒什麼好意外的。
- 素養導向？別當口號！ 近年統測英文擺明了要你「動腦」，這種「圖表加文字」的複合題型就是實戰演練。它不只考你認得幾個單字，更要你看懂數據背後的故事，學會橫向對比今天跟昨天，縱向追蹤十年來的變化。
