ABSTRACT
@#OBJECTIVE To further standardize the clinical application of anticoagulants and provide reference for improving the efficiency of prescription review of anticoagulants in medical institutions. METHODS Initiated by the Pharmaceutical Administration Committee of Chongqing Hospital Association and led by the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University， in collaboration with experts in relevant fields from multiple provinces across the country， the prescription review rules， warning levels， and intervention measures for 12 kinds of common anticoagulants were established based on drug instructions. Regarding clinical drug use that was not covered by the basic review rules， based on reference to existing guidelines and expert consensus， 42 experts from 22 hospitals in 8 provinces across the country were consulted by letter to form a consensus. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The basic prescription review rules of 12 kinds of anticoagulants， including unfractionated heparin， enoxaparin sodium， nadroparin calcium， dalteparin sodium， fondaparinux sodium， bivalirudin， argatroban， warfarin， dabigatran etexilate， rivaroxaban， apixaban and edoxaban， had been established according to drug instruction， as well as warning levels beyond the basic review rules and corresponding intervention measures. After two rounds of expert consultation， 17 recommendations for prescription review were formed regarding some clinical drug use that were not covered by the basic prescription review rules. With the progress of clinical research， this consensus will be further updated and adjusted； in addition， as this consensus does not cover all situations where anticoagulants are used in clinical practice， prescription reviewer must conduct personalized evaluations based on the specific situation of the patient.

ABSTRACT
Objective To better carries out the review of the interaction between triazole antifungal drugs and statins, ensure drug safety for patients and improve the efficiency of the manual review of pharmacists. Methods The advantageous combination with less interaction between the two kinds of drug was obtained by summarizing the interaction information of triazole antifungal drugs and statins. At the same time, optimizing the process of full manual reviews for drug interaction, and the advantageous combination of the two kinds of drug will be set up in advance on the doctor side of the review system. Doctors can adjust the drug in time according to the prompts of the information system when there is a significant interaction of the two kinds of drug in the prescription or medical order, which is issued by the doctors. Results After optimization, most doctors choose the drug combination of less interaction between the two kinds of drug according to the system prompts. The number of drug combinations of significant interaction which is manually reviewed by pharmacists is significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the review efficiency is improved, the drug safety risks brought by drug interactions to patients are reduced. Conclusion Refinement review of drug interactions between triazole antifungal agents and statins based on the optimization of the pre-audit system plays a positive role in improving the safety of patients’ medication and the efficiency of pharmacists' manual auditing.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of the establishment of the trans-regional review system on rational drug use in second-grade general hospital ，and to promote the rational drug use. METHODS With the administrative support of Jiuquan Health Commission，5 second-grade general hospitals in Jiuquan Medical Association jointly established Jiuquan Rational Drug Use Review Training Center . A trans-regional review system was established to carry out cross-review of prescriptions and medical orders among 5 second-grade general hospitals. Totally 1 500 prescriptions and 900 medical records were collected from 5 second-grade general hospitals before （April to June ，2020）and after （July to September ，2020）the implementation of the project. The changes of rational drug use indicators ，the results of prescriptions and medical order review were investigated before and after the implementation of the project. RESULTS After the implementation of the project ，except for one hospital ，the proportion of drugs in other hospitals decreased to varying degrees with the highest decline rate of 22.56％ . Compared with before the implementation of the project ，reasonable rate of outpatient and emergency prescription review increased by 5.72％ averagely and the reasonable rate of medical order review increased by 10.10％（P＜0.05）. The average utilization rate of antibiotics in outpatients decreased by 14.45％，the average utilization rate of antibiotics in inpatients decreased by 7.98％，and the average use intensity of antibiotics decreased by 25.19％. CONCLUSIONS Through the establishment of trans-regional review system ，medical institutions can be forced to pay more attention to prescription review ，effectively improve the prescription review of pharmacists in medical institutions，and promote the rational use of drugs in medical institutions in the region. However ，there are still some problems ， such as incomplete system coverage ，insufficient work experience ，lagging of informatization ，uneven pharmacist level ，and insufficient assessment and supervision of administrative functional departments.
ABSTRACT
Remote pharmaceutical care refers to the process that pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care to patients remotely through information technology. Remote pharmaceutical care in China starts late and develops slowly. Therefore ，this paper discusses the pharmaceutical care modes that pharmacists at home and abroad can provide under the remote mode by collecting literature. The results show that foreign remote pharmaceutical care starts early and is relatively mature. The service mainly included remote follow-up and intervention ，24-hour online prescription and order review ，24-hour online drug reorganization ，and guidance on rational drug use in remote areas or community hospitals. The service population covers patients with cardiovascular disease ， diabetes，asthma，AIDS and so on. Some hospitals have established an integrated pharmaceutical care system of “Internet+Medical Consortium”in China ，with which pharmacists can provide patients with pharmaceutical care such as remote follow-up and intervention，drug consultation and so on. With the promotion of telemedicine ，domestic pharmacists can gradually expand the scope of services ，expand pharmaceutical services such as remote consultation and remote popular science push ，and realize the sharing of high-quality pharmaceutical care for the whole people.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To explore the role of pharmacists i n developi ng the outpatient and emergency prescription pre-audit with the help of rational drug use software. METHODS ：With the help of rational drug use software ，outpatient and emergency prescription pre-aduit was conducted during Jan.-Apr. 2020；the intervention effects of irrational prescriptions were analyzed. The prescriptions from Sept. to Dec. in 2019 were included in the control group （only for post review ），and the prescriptions from Jan. to Apr. in 2020 were included in the intervention group （pre-audit and post review ）；the unreasonable prescriptions were compared before and after the intervention. The prescriptions intercepted by the software system from Nov. to Dec. in 2019 were further selected as the interception control group ，and the prescriptions intercepted from Jan. to Feb. in 2020 were selected as the interception intervention group ；the interception situation of prescriptions before and after the intervention was compared ，and the influence of pre-audit on physicians ’prescription behavior was evaluated. In addition ，108 992 prescriptions in Apr. 2020 were selected for post review using the traditional model （i.e. complete manual audit ）and the information model （i.e. software-assisted manual audit ）respectively；the effects of two models were compared. RESULTS ：From Jan. to Apr. in 2020，a total of 2 393 prescriptions were pre-audited by pharmacists ，among which 1 387 prescriptions were reasonable （57.96％）and 1 006 prescriptions were unreasonable and intervened （42.04％）. After pharmacist intervention ，983 prescriptions were modified by doctors ，and the success rate of intervention was 97.71％ . Compared with control group ，unreasonable rate of outpatient and emergency prescriptions，that of each type of prescriptions were all decreased significantly （P＜0.001）. Compared with interception control group（1 402 pieces），the number of intercepted prescriptions （721 pieces）was significantly reduced in interception intervention group （P＜0.001）. Compared with traditional model ， the number of prescriptions requiring manual post review and E-mail：xss306@126.com “false positive ” prescriptions were decreased significantly # under information model ， and the number of discovered unreasonable prescriptions were increased significantly （P＜ 0.001）. CONCLUSIONS ：With the help of rational drug use software ，prescription pre-audit by pharmacists can significantly improve reasonable rate of outpatient and emergency prescriptions. The work intensity of pharmacists in post review of prescriptions can be reduced and the accuracy of prescription review can be improved in the information mode.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To k now about t he current situation of pre-prescription review in medical institutions in China ，and provide reference for quality improvement of pre-prescription review in medical institutions. METHODS ：Retrieved from PubMed ， the Cochrane library ，EMbase（Ovid platform ），CNKI，CBM，VIP and Wanfang databases ，the studies about pre-prescription review in medical institutions in China were collected during the inception to Mar. 2020. After data extraction of the literatures met the inclusion and exclusion criteria ，descriptive analysis was used. RESULTS ：A total of 38 literatures were included ，involving 29 medical institutions ，of which 25 were third-grade class-A medical institutions （86.21％），22 comprehensive medical institutions （75.86％）；pre-prescription review was carried out from 2007 to 2019. Totally 84.62％ of medical institutions adopted the mode of “systematic review+manual review ”，and the main audited prescriptions were outpatient （emergency）prescriptions（76.00％）. Medical institutions adopting this mode mainly adopted the mode that auditing pharmacists rechecked the problem prescriptions intercepted by the system. The average manual review time of problem prescriptions in 8 medical institutions was within 60 s；the number of auditing pharmacists in 16 reported medical institutions ranged from 1 to 8，and educational degree of auditing pharmacists in 1 reported medical institution were bachelor degree or above. Their professional titles of 6 reported medical institutions were junior or above （83.33％）. Eleven medical institutions had full-time auditing posts （90.91％）. Success rate of problem prescription intervention was 93.99％ ；pre-prescription review could increase the qualification rate of prescription. CONCLUSION：The pre-prescription review in medical institutions in China has achieved certain results ，but still faces some problems，such as imperfect information system ，insufficient ability of auditing pharmacists and poor communication between doctors and pharmacists ，which will be the aspects that should be paid attention to in the future.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To dev elop and apply a parenteral nutrition prescription decision support system for medical institutions and provide theoretical basis for improving clinical parenteral nutrition precision treatment. METHODS ：Based on the review points of parenteral nutrition prescription ，the parenteral nutrition prescription decision support system was designed ；the function points and prescription review logic of each module of the system were discussed ，and the system was also used to review 100 pieces of clinical parenteral nutrition prescriptions. RESULTS ：Information-based parenteral nutrition prescription decision support system included evaluation index management module ，drug management module ，index knowledge management module ， index calculation and evaluation module ，feedback and tracking module. The logic of parenteral nutrition prescription review were based on the evaluation indexes ，and rationality knowledge base ，safety knowledge base and drug attribute base were constructed. Based on the above knowledge bases ，patient information and prescription information call and calculation ，the evaluation result set of safety and rationality of the prescription was finally formed. Based on this design concept ，the parenteral nutrition prescription decision support system realized the automatic review and warning of various indicators in TNA prescription ，and can quickly and efficiently review the safety and rationality of parenteral nutrition prescription. Through manual judgment ，the audit results of 100 prescriptions by the system were all correct. CONCLUSIONS ：The basis of parenteral nutrition prescription review is the formulation of evaluation indexes ，and the technical difficulty lies in considering the individuality and rationality as well as the safety and stability of parenteral nutrition solution at the same time. The application of a well-structured information system will promote the precise and reasonable medication of parenteral nutrition and improve work efficiency of medical personnel.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for improving the qualified rate of outpa tient prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines and ensuring the rational use of medicines. METHODS：Refering to the Beijing Basic Medical Insurance Medicines Catalog， Clinical Medicine Instructions and （No.17Z13） MCDEX，Chinese patent medicine were classified according to the main functions indications and disease syndromes types. The classification results were reviewed by the member of expert group of Hospital Pha rmacy Committee ，and were recorded by medical department of the management department ，finally were embedded into the outpatient HIS and were docked with prescription pre-audit and comment system. Total number of reviewed Chinese patent medicine prescriptions ，the number of repeated prescriptions ，the number of repeated prescriptions intercepted by HIS system ，the number of prescriptions actively modified by the prescribing physician ，the ratio of repeated prescriptions ，the frequency of active modification by the prescribing physician and average cost of each prescription were compared between the third quarter of 2017（initial stage of sub-category management of Chinese patent medicine ）and the forth quarter of 2019. RESULTS ：Chinese patent medicines in our hospital could be divided into eight categories as internal medicine ，surgery medicine ，oncology medicine ，gynecology medicine ，ophthalmology medicine，otorhinolaryngology medicine ，orthopedics medicine and dermatology medicine ；they contained 14，1，2，4，2，2，3， 1 sub-categories，respectively；some sub-categories were subdivided again . In the third quarter of 2017，159 610 prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines were reviewed ，and 421 prescriptions were unreasonable. Among which ，there were 200 prescription of repeated prescriptions ，accounting for 47.15％；676 repeated prescriptions were actively intercepted by HIS and 476 intercepted prescriptions were actively modified by prescribing physicians ，with active modification rate of 70.14％. In the forth quarter of 2019，138 869 prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines were reviewed ，and 381 prescriptions were unreasonable. Among which ， there were 47 prescription of repeated prescriptions ，accounting for 12.43％；266 repeated prescriptions were actively intercepted by HIS and 259 intercepted prescriptions were actively modified by prescribing physicians ，with active modification rate of 97.37％. There were statistical significances in the ratio of repeated prescription and the rate of active modification by physicians between initial stage and the forth quarter of 2019（P＜0.01）. The average cost of each prescription were 278.78 yuan in the third quarter of 2017 and 220.85 yuan in the forth quarter of 2019，decreasing by 20.78％ . CONCLUSIONS ：The sub-category management of Chinese patent medicine is adopted in the pharmacy department of our hospital ，which realize the pre-audit of all prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines ，and increased the pass rate of outpatient chinese patent medicine prescriptions . It i s helpful for doctors to dialectically use drugs ，memorize the varieties of Chinese patent medicines and improve their professional level；it is helpful for prescription reviewers to rapidly identify repeated prescriptions ，improve the information audit and management level of prescriptions. It is convenient for facilitate prescription reviewers to check the amount of prescriptions used and found out the deficiency of the medicine list in our hospital. However ，there are also some problems such as the conflict between individualized medication and part of management system ，and doctors and pharmacists have different opinions on medicine classification.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To provide referenc e for the construction of prescription review model in medical institution and key monitored drugs management. METHODS ：A multidisciplinary collaborative prescription review mode was established in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China （called“our hospital ”for short ）. The prescription management group （composed of the president in charge ，the director of pharmacy department ，the director of medical department and the person in charge of pharmacy ，medicine，nursing and administrative management ）was set up under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Management and Drug Treatment Committee ；and then prescription review expert group （be responsible for providing professional technical consultation and final evaluation of prescriptions ）and prescription review working group （be responsible for the initial evaluation of prescriptions ）were set up. According to the Drug Administration Law ，the Law of Licensed Doctors and the Law of Anti-unfair Competition Act and so on ，the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Drug Purchase ，Sale and Use in our hospital was formulated. The multi-disciplinary collaborative prescription review procedure was established to intervene key monitored drugs prescriptions. The utilization rate of key monitored varieties and prescription reasonability in our hospital were investigated before （Jun. 2019）and after the intervention （Sept. 2019）by the mode. RESULTS ：The multidisciplinary collaborative prescription review mode was established sucessfully. The proportion of key monitored drugs in total drug sales amount decreased from 1.322％ before intervention to 0.735％ after intervention （P＝0.010）. The irrational rate of prescriptions decreased from 46.76％ before intervention to 15.70％ after intervention （P＝0.023）. The main types of irrational prescriptions were inappropriate usage and dosage （18.52％），inappropriate indications（12.50％），inappropriateroute of administration （9.26％）before intervention changed into inappropriate usage and dosage （15.70％）after intervention ； other irrational prescription types had been significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS ： The multidisciplinary collaborative prescription review model shows significant effect on key monitored drugs and reduce irrational use of this variety in the clinic significantly.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To promote the implementation of the pre-prescription review work， and to ensure the rational drug use of patients. METHODS： With the idea of PDCA （Plan， Do， Check， Action） cycle management， the phased improvement of three PDCA cycles was gradually implemented in the operation of the pre-prescription review system， aiming at the establishment of the working mode of the prescription review work， the improvement of the rules of knowledge base in the review system and the improvement of the ability of pharmacists to review prescriptions. The operation results of the system were evaluated by comparing the irrational prescription rate of outpatient pharmacies before and after the operation of pre-prescription review system. RESULTS： Through adopting the prescription review mode of “rigid” and “flexible” interception， regular revision of knowledge base rules， regular training and examination of prescription pharmacists， pre-prescription review system operated smoothly， and the pre-prescription review work was carried out in the process of continuous improvement. In the three PDCA cycles， the irrational rate of prescriptions decreased significantly， such as after the first PDCA cycle， the irrational rate of TCM outpatient prescriptions decreased from 22.0％ （1 393/6 332） in Jan. 2017 to 7.4％ （416/5 627） in Jun. 2017； after the second PDCA cycle， the irrational rate of outpatient prescriptions in hospital decreased from 4.87％ （5 244/107 691） in Mar. 2018 to 2.21％ （2 219/100 412） in Aug. 2018. After the third PDCA cycle， the percentage of over-treatment course prescriptions in total prescriptions decreased from 16.97％ （15 728/92 684） in Jun. 2018 to 5.55％ （5 394/97 275） in Sept. 2018. CONCLUSIONS： The pre-prescription review system can effectively intercept and interfere with irrational prescriptions， and PDCA cycle management can effectively promote the operation of the pre-prescription review work.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To construct integrated medication decision-making system,and to provide reference for safe,effec-tive,economical and reasonable drug use in clinic. METHODS:The construction of integrated medication decision-making system was introduced in our hospital. RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:The integrated medication decision-making system included three as-pects as real-time intervention in advance,interactive review in the matter,afterward comment and analysis,as 3 steps before and after the implementation of inpatient medical order and outpatient prescription. The real-time intervention in advance was mainly to control the rationality of medical orders or prescriptions from their source,thus requiring the timely treatment. The interactive re-view in the matter required that pharmacists judged the medical order or prescription and made a decision of refusing prescribing within the fixed time. To make a decision accurately,the clinical information should be highly structured and correlated with drug signs. Afterward comment and analysis required that pharmacists evaluated the medical order or prescription regularly after the im-plementation. The three were not only different,but also coordinated,and they were an organic unity,especially interactive review in the matter needed to be coordinated with the other two processes. After the implementation of integrated medication decision-mak-ing system,the proportion of irrational medical orders or prescriptions in our hospital decreased from 6.07％ in the first half of 2016 to 2.56％ at corresponding period of 2017. Drug dose errors and incompatibility were greatly reduced,and medication against contraindications was more likely to be found in the review and analysis. The system can improve the efficiency of prescription re-view,improve rational drug use,and effectively ensure the safety,effectiveness,economy and rationality of clinical drug use.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To improve the level of rational drug use,and to reduce the workload of clinical pharmacists. METH-ODS:Established“Intelligent Management and Solution for Clinical Rational Drug Use”of our hospital was introduced,including post-prescription review(all prescriptions review)system, self-maintenance system for rational drug use knowledge base,pre-pre-scription review (rational drug use real-time review) early warning system. The effects of intelligent system were evaluated. RE-SULTS & CONCLUSIONS:After the application of the system,the following aspects could be achieved,including“all prescrip-tions review”,“multi-prescriptions/longitudinal review”,system knowledge base real-time update and autonomous definition of re-view rules,effective communication and intervention between physicians and pharmacists before printing prescription by Yaozhidao instant messaging system. Through related trial evaluation,the proportion of false positive prescriptions decreased by 17.65% after 4 months of the application of the system;drug consultation prescriptions review average score of outpatient pharmacists increased from 81 to 94.85;the time of prescription review decreased by 4.72-5.46 times. Through mandatory interception of unqualified pre-scriptions,severe warning,timely prompt and pharmacists’intervention,the rate of unqualified prescriptions pre-reviewed by the system in respiration department decreased from 32% in Jan. 2015 and 21% in May to 4.62% in Dec. So,the application of the system promotes rational drug use in outpatient department,reduces the workload of pharmacists and ensures the safety of drug use comprehensively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of prescription review on rational clinical use by means of regional data.Methods Analysis of two prescriptions review data of Beijing municipal hospitals,to compare the rational rate of prescriptions,makeup of irrational prescriptions,and effect variations following feedback.Results Of the 21 hospitals involved,the total rational rate of prescriptions rose from 89.4% to 97.1% following prescription review and feedback of results.In the second review,those found of the highest irrational and the most significant improvements were both irrational indications, with the irrational rate dropping from 90.7% to 44.2%. As reported in feedback for the first prescription review,9 out of 10 druguses found as irrational,have disappeared from the second review. Conclusion The regional administrative prescription reviews can improve the rational clinical drug use, encouraging rational drug use.
