OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the implementation of new"Medical Reform"in China. METHODS:The effectiveness of performed health policy was analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of new"Medical Reform"were analyzed systematically according to the condition of China. RESULTS&CONCLUSION:Rational use of health resource is the key to"Medical Reform". Effective methods for rational use of health resource are charging for single disease and total cost repaid.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss countermeasures to effective contain the rapid rise of drug expenditure.METHODS:Reasons of the rapid rise of drug expenditure and its countermeasure were analyzed in detail.RESULT &CONCLUSION:There were a lot of factors that contributed to the rapid rise of drug expenditure,the current containing policy has both advantages and disadvantages,a systematic method should be adopted to make it improved and perfected,meanwhile,supervision on which should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVE:To reduce the incidence of the preventable adverse drug events by using information technology. METHODS:The intelligent prescription screening system was developed and the hospital information system-based link between "contraindications" and diagnosis of patients,their laboratory results and creatinine clearances were realized. RESULTS:Of the total 5 546 prescriptions selected randomly within one day,46 laboratory results-related,28 diagnosis-related and 32 creatinine clearance-related contraindications were detected by the system. CONCLUSION:This link mode is practical in that those prescriptions that violating the contraindications can be found out by the system; however,the clinical effect of the intelligent prescription screening system remains to be proved.

OBJECTIVE:To introduce the function and operation of "Intelligentized prescription-monitoring system on the dosage and medication frequency of antibiotics" in order to reduce adverse drug events and increase therapeutic efficacy. METHODS: The monitoring system was evaluated and analyzed from aspects of the tools used for the research and development,software and hardware platforms,functional modules,characteristics,technical difficulties,and effectiveness of the monitoring system. Meanwhile,599 prescriptions sampled randomly were examined online. RESULTS: For the total 599 prescriptions,50 warnings appeared in the system,and which had been confirmed to be correct by experts. CONCLUSIONS: The discrepancy between the dosage and (or) medication frequency and the drug package inserts can be detected with the use of monitoring system,which thus meets our expected goal.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects and costs between metformin and acarbose when combined with insulin in treating type2diabetes mellitus.METHODS:Cost-minimization analysis in medical economy was applied to analyze the therapeutic effects,costs and cost related factors with the respect for the patients.RESULTS:There was no statistically sig?nificant difference in effects of the2therapeutic regimens.Total cost and drug cost per head in metformin group were1941.46yuan and138.86yuan respectively as compared with2308.37yuan and229.82yuan respectively in acarbose group.The analysis on cost related factors showed no statistical significance.CONCLUSION:Metformin combined with insulin is a preferable therapeutic regimen.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the consumption of drugs after the inplementation of total cost prospective payment sys-tem(PPS),and to provide reference for hospital drug cost control. METHODS:The data of prescriptions collected from 9 hospital during 2007-2014 were divided into group A,B and C according to PPS,and then summarized statistically in respects of increase rate of total consumption sum,consumption sum ratio of major category;the drug cost per time of outpatient department,emergen-cy department and inpatient department were calculated as well as consumption sum ratio of self-paid drugs;the dosage per time of drugs in blood pressure and diabetes prescription were also calculated. RESULTS:The total consumption sum of drug increased slowly after the implementation of total cost PPS;the consumption sum ratio of major category kept stable,while that of anti-infec-tive agent decreased;the emergency drug cost per time achieved a negative growth,and outpatient and inpatient drug cost per time increased slightly. The proportion of self-paid drugs was relatively stable. The dosage per time of drugs in hypertension and diabetes prescriptions was stable,too. CONCLUSIONS:Total cost PPS is useful in controlling the rapid growth of drug costs,and promote the reasonable drug use. The consumption sum of self-paid drugs are well controlled. The increase of drug cost per time in outpa-tient and inpatient should arouse the attention of the relevant departments. In addition,it has no effect on drug dosage for the pa-tients with hypertension and diabetes.

Objective:To understand the use of antibiotics in our hospital to provide clinical drug reference. Method:The hospital outpatient and emergency prescriptions in 2007 were randomly selected and according to clinical pharmacology knowledge and literature material,sorting of the antibiotics use frequency and category was carried out,and the statistics and rationality about the antibiotics prescriptions were classified and analyzed.Result:According to the use frequency(DDDs),the top 3 kinds were ornidazole,levofloxacuin and azithromycin.Cephalosorins,quinolones and macrolides were most frequently used in clinic.In the total 10,800 prescriptions audited,3842 antibiotic prescriptions and 409 irrational prescriptions were used respectively in the drug solvent which presented problems in the dosage regimen,pharmacological effects and rational drug use.Conclusion:The use of antibiotics in the hospital was basically reasonable,but there were still some problems and the need to further improve the prescription audit would be helpful for the rational use of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE: To promote rational use of non-antimicrobials based on Intelligent Monitoring System for Dosage and Frequency of Drugs.METHODS: Base on the information system of hospital,dosage and frequency of drugs were collected from Intelligent Monitoring System for Dosage and Frequency of Drugs and connected with patients’ ages,weights,body surface areas and renal functions.1 315 hospitalized prescriptions of non-antimicrobials were randomly collected from our hospital one day.RESULTS: There were 200 warnings of overdosage each time and moderate frequency,91 warnings of overdosage each time and inadequate frequency,43 warnings of moderate dosage each time and inadequate frequency,41 warnings of moderate dosage each time and excessive frequency,15 warnings of inadequate dosage each time and moderate or inadequate frequency for drugs that needn’t be adjusted according to age and renal functions.There were 11 warnings of overdosage and excessive frequency for drugs that should be adjusted according to patients’ age and renal function.CONCLUSION: This kind of connection is practical,when prescriptions of non-antimicrobials which violate the rules of dose and (or) frequency are identified by system.But the significance of Intelligent Monitoring System for Dosage and Frequency of Drugs should be proved by practice.

OBJECTIVE:Evaluating clinical efficacy of ceftriaxone in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections METHODS:Applying meta-analysis to evaluation of clinical efficacy of ceftriaxone,cefotaxime and cefuroxime in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Ceftriaxone is worthy of popularization and application in clinical practice because of its better efficacy and lower cost

OBJECTIVE:To promote the research and level of application of pharmacoeconomics in China.METHODS:To expound the current situation of overseas research on pharmacoeconomics and existing problem in its application at home.RE_SULTS & CONCLUSION:Many countries in the world are attaching importance to pharmacoeconomics day by day,however,there exist unclear viewpoints and improper design and data source in pharmacoeconomic research at home.
