Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the quality of TCM decoction pieces in our hospital preliminarily and explore the solu-tions for the problem of the quality of decoction pieces purchased by the hospital. METHODS:In Jun. 2012,a system was estab-lished by our hospital,where the quality inspector was designated to daily inspect new batches of TCM decoction pieces such as ap-pearance provided by suppliers. The batches of TCM decoction piece samples inspected and those of unqualified products from Jun. 2012 to May 2014 were calculated. The reasons of unqualified products were analyzed and corresponding solutions were made. RE-SULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Over two years,a total of 94 671 batches of TCM decoction piece samples were inspected by our hos-pital,among which 737 were unqualified products predominantly because of mildew,damage by worms,greasing,containing for-eign substances and others. The solutions to such problems included interviewing the suppliers,returning or discontinuing the use of crude drugs and special focus on particular seasons and on the demand for key varieties. The unqualified products rate in the quality inspection reduced from 0.56%in Jun. 2012 to 0.34%in May 2014. Therefore,setting the post of drug quality inspector in the hos-pital can ensure the quality of TCM decoction piece purchased,however,it need to improve the inspection and acceptance of quali-ty inspection by sampling,scoring and using the new technology.
