OBJECTIVE:To probe into the tendency and influencing factors of the drug expenses of the inpatients in our hospital.METHODS:The total drug expense,the antibiotic expense and its proportion in the total of the inpatients in our hospital were analyzed statistically in this retrospective study.RESULTS:During 2003～2007,the average daily total drug expense per inpatient was 371.77 yuan with average annual growth rate of 11.94%;the average daily antibiotics cost per inpatient was 110.35 yuan with average annual growth rate of 11.92%.Both the drug expense and antibiotic expense were correlated positively with the consumer price index (CPI).And the proportion of antibiotic expense in the total drug cost remained stable at about 29.68%.CONCLUSION:The average daily drug cost and antibiotic expenses per inpatient between 2003 and 2007 fluctuated yet with upward trend on the whole,and the proportion of antibiotic expense in the total drug cost remained stable.
ABSTRACT
80% defined as category A,B,and C,respectively.Category A drugs were regarded as the focus of management,category B as the second focus of management,category C underwent general management,category D drugs were regarded as the focus in purchase.RESULTS:Hospital first-order drug storeroom and secondary drug storerooms classified their drugs into their own A,B,and C categories (category D was consistent).The consumption sum of category A drugs(about 20% of drugs) accounted for 60%;the consumption sum of category B drugs(about 20% of drugs) accounted for 20%;and the consumption sum of category C drugs(about 60% of drugs) plus that of small quantity of category D drugs accounted for 20%.CONCLUSION:This method can ensure drug supply and help maximize ec-onomical benefits with least human,material and financial resources.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To work out scientific computation and evaluation method for the working performance of dispensers so as to improve the service quality and motivate the enthusiasm of the dispensers.METHODS: The performance of each dispenser consisted of the coefficient of dispensing prescriptions and coefficient of colligation(weight ratio: 80%∶20%).The coefficient of dispensed prescriptions was derived from the number of prescriptions in the foreground(counter),the quantity of drugs dispensed and the number of dispensed prescriptions in the background;and coefficient of colligation was derived from the service quality and work performance of dispensers.The individual bonus was decided by his performance coefficient.RESULTS: The monthly quantitative evaluation indicators and evaluation results of the work performance and service quality of each pharmacist became available.As compared without this evaluation system,the differences among dispensers in performance coefficient and in dispensing error were markedly decreased after the practice of performance evaluation,and the irrational prescriptions were able to be corrected in time.CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative evaluation method has motivated the working enthusiasm of the dispensers and enhanced both the working efficiency and service quality.Besides,this system can be modified based on the practical situation to be generally approved.
