RESULTS:334 copies of medical records included 1 781 pieces of medication orders. 419 pieces of surgery medication orders contained 119 copies of irrational ones and the mean proportion of irrational drug use was 28.4% vs. 272 copies of the irrational ones and 20.0% of proportion for 1 362 copies of medicine medication orders. CONCLUSION:The status quo of irrational medication in our hospital is severe. Clinical pharmacists' intervention on clinical rational medication is of great importance. The severity of irrational medication and the extent of deviating from standard treatment can be evaluated by the irrational medication classification criteria with clear content and practical property,which can be a way for evaluating clinical pharmacists' behavior and the efficacy of clinical pharmacy care.
