ABSTRACT
Objective To discover the effects of the Prescription Administrative Policy in force on the quality of the prescriptions in a tertiary hospital in 2007. Methods The prescriptions of 400 cases were sampled systematically for evaluation, and 60 patients were interviewed. Results The average eligibility rate of the prescriptions was but 37. 2% in this hospital, which was mainly plagued by incompleteness, nonstandard and irrationality found in prescriptions. Implementation of the Policy contributed to a significant improvement of some indicators. For example, the eligibility rate increased by 12. 2% (P=0. 004) ,the percentage of the use of antimicrobial agents dropped significantly (P=0. 001),and the percentage of generic names used rose significantly (P = 0. 000). Conclusions The implementation of the Policy is highly positive for prescription quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the recognition degree and attitude to adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports among the healthcare professionals in our hospital.Method:Through random cluster sampling,the doctors,nurses and pharmacists in our hospital were interviewed on the spot.The questionnaires were input by EPI6.04 and analyzed by soft- ware SPSS11.5.Result:1077 eligible questionnaires were obtained and the recovery was 89.8%.Our bealthcare profes- sionals had a good recognition of basic ADR knowledge.The pharmacists had a better recognition degree than doctors and nurses.The better academic background the healthcare professionals had,the higher their score of recognition was,and there was a significant difference among them.There was no significant difference among the Scores of the healthcare profes- sionals with different working years,and nor was there among the scores of them with different professional titles.The atti- tude to ADR reporting was entirely right,but there were some wrong ideas.Conclusion:It is urgent to provide more train- ing courses for healthcare professionals so as to raise their consciousness of ADR reporting,ability of discrimination and lev- el of monitoring and avoid serious consequences caused by ADR.
