Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a pharmaceutical management system for externally dispensed medicines in medical institutions， so as to improve medication safety and regulatory efficiency. METHODS Based on policy analysis and hospital practice， a pharmaceutical management system for externally dispensed medicines was constructed by integrating institutional frameworks， an information‑based platform and management procedures， and the management effectiveness was evaluated. RESULTS Our hospital formulated the Regulations on the Management of Externally Dispensed Medicines ， which standardized catalogue selection， prescription issuance， acceptance and use， supervision and evaluation. An information‑based management platform for externally dispensed medicines was built relying on the hospital information system， enabling electronic prescription circulation， intelligent prescription review and whole‑process traceability. Institutional requirements and platform functions were embedded into three core management procedures， namely catalogue selection， prescription issuance， and medicine acceptance and use， forming a closed‑loop working mechanism. After the implementation of the management system， compared with pre‑implementation， the qualified rate of externally dispensed prescriptions increased from 85.2% to 99.3% （ P ＜0.001）， the automatic prescription review pass rate exceeded 95%， the prescription review duration shortened from 7.2 min to 1.8 min （ P ＜0.001）. All dimensional satisfaction scores of patients and medical staff were significantly improved， the standardization awareness of medical staff reached 100%. CONCLUSIONS The construction of a pharmaceutical management system for externally dispensed medicines with standardized institutional frameworks， informatized platforms and standardized procedures effectively enhances the rationality and management efficiency of externally dispensed prescription medicines， and provides a replicable practical pathway for the management of externally dispensed medicines in medical institutions.
