Abstract:
Objective:To conduct a systematic review on the implementation effects of National Essential Medi-cine System ( NEMS) since the new health care reform and provide some suggestions to further improve the NEMS. Methods:Databases and relevant international organization reports were searched to collect studies related to the im-plementation of NEMS in China. The database search occurred from January 2009 to December 2014. Results:A to-tal of 1 292 studies were finally included, encompassing 1,277 Chinese papers, 12 English papers, and 3 WHO/HAI reports. A lot of researches have been done on NEMS, but the techniques of NEMS evaluation are not perfect. The sample representativeness is poor, and the longitudinal follow-up studies of the microscopic view is insufficient. . Evi-dence-based evaluation research using big data has just started. Conclusions: The research on NEMS should be strengthened. The NEMS evaluation should not only be based on national conditions, but it should also be in combi-nation with an international, multidimensional evaluation framework in terms of availability, affordability and rational drug use, so as to provide evidences to perfect the NEMS.
