Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To calculate the cost of centralized dispensing of four categories of drugs (ordinary drugs, antibacterial drugs, hazardous drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions) in pharmacy intravenous admixture service (PIVAS), and provide reference for setting charging standards for relevant departments. METHODS The operating costs of PIVAS in 12 medical institutions from Shaanxi province were collected through questionnaire survey, including labor costs, medical and health material costs, fixed asset depreciation and repair costs, water and electricity costs, and management costs. The operation time allocation coefficient method and workload allocation coefficient method were comprehensively used to allocate the above costs, and the unit preparation costs of four categories of drugs were calculated. RESULTS The average annual total costs of dispensing ordinary drugs, antibacterial drugs, hazardous drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions in Shaanxi province were (2 195 900.25±1 680 893.73) yuan, (746 341.59±725 839.39) yuan, (331 420.15±183 258.83) yuan, and (330 322.68±277 281.70) yuan, respectively, with labor costs accounting for the highest proportion, averaging 85.49%. The costs of dispensing a set of ordinary drugs, antibacterial drugs, and hazardous drugs were 5.89, 7.60, and 14.37 yuan, respectively; the cost of dispensing one bag of parenteral nutrition solution was 32.15 yuan (excluding the cost of disposable intravenous nutrition bags). CONCLUSIONS The cost calculation method and data of different types of intravenous drugs obtained in this study can provide reference for relevant departments to formulate and adjust PIVAS fee standards.
