ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of clinical pharmacists participating in the implementation of clinical path-way under the condition of disease diagnosis related groups-prospective payment system(DRGs-PPS),and to provide reference for promoting rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:Patients with femoral neck fracture in the clinical pathway were collected from our hospital as research objects. The patient collected during Jan.-Dec. 2015 were included in control group(52 patients includ-ed,41 patients completed)and those collected during Jan.-Dec. 2016 were included in observation group(58 patients included,46 patients completed). Clinical pharmacists participated in the implementation of clinical pathway in observation group,and provided technological intervention and administrative intervention. No intervention was performed in control group. Hospitalization time, hospitalization cost,drug cost and ADR were observed in 2 groups. The rationality of antibiotics for prophylactic use,analgesic drugs,adjuvant drugs,anti-osteoporosis drugs and anticoagulant were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:After clinical pharma-cists participating in the implementation of clinical pathway in observation group,there was no statistical significance in hospitalization time or the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05); hospitalization cost and drug cost of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Medication time and cost of antibiotics for prophylactic use,cost of analgesic drugs,medication time of adjuvant drugs in observation group were significantly shorter/lower than control group;type of anti-osteoporosis drugs was significantly more than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Under DRGs-PPS,the participation of linical pharmacists participating in the implementation of femoral neck fracture clinical pathway can play an important role in regulating the clinical rational use of 5 kinds of drugs and ensuring the safety,effectiveness and econom-ics of drug use.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the calculation of the cost consumption index adjusted with major diagnostic classification (MDC), for optimal use of DRGs index in hospital performance evaluation. Methods The adjustment method of CMI value in DRGs index system was used as reference, and we compared the different cost consumption indexes(both MDC adjusted and non-adjusted) of two hospitals(S and Y) in Guangdong province. Then we compared the different rankings of 82 tertiary general hospitals in the province before and after the adjustment. Results The cost consumption index of S hospital was higher than that of Y hospital by the non-adjusted method (1.30 >1.28). But as calculated by the adjusted method,the index of S hospital was significantly lower than Y hospital (1.31 <1.38). The rankings of these 82 hospitals also showed major changes,which prove that the cost consumption index, the same as CMI,will be affected by MDC cases makeup.Conclusions The MDC adjusted cost consumption index, when applied to hospital performance evaluation, renders more stable and reasonable results. This is an evidence that the adjusted cost consumption index is of great practical value in hospital performance evaluation.
