Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To promote clinical rational drug use (RDU). METHODS:2000 prescriptions before intervention (from Jan. to Apr. in 2003) and another 2000 after intervention (from Jan. to Apr. in 2006) were randomly selected for a statistical analysis in accordance with the international RDU indicators of WHO/INRUD. RESULTS:Regarding the prescription indicators,the average number of drugs per prescription was 3.88 kinds before intervention versus 1.97 after intervention; the proportion of patients treated with antibiotics was 38.40% before intervention versus 24.05% after intervention; the proportion of injections was 21.75% before intervention versus 12.75% after intervention. In terms of patient care indicators,the average consultation time was 9.5 minutes and the average dispensing time was 23 seconds,and the percentage of drugs with integral labeling was as high as 100%. CONCLUSION:Most of the RDU indictors in our hospital were satisfactory; however,the average cost per prescription was still on the high side,which calls for further intervention.
