ABSTRACT
The paper presented the scheme of performance appraisal on rational administration of drugs and its outcomes against the background of separation of clinic from pharmacy reform.It found the proportion of medicine decreasing year by year;pass rate of prescriptions above 99％;drug cost per visit decreasing significantly;and the usage rate of antibiotics up to the national standards in a rational trend.Rational drug use has become an effective tool in overseeing physicians' rational drug use and ensuring patient safety.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the new management model of the hospital pharmacy established by application of vender managed inventory (VMI) model. METHODS:Concerned about the implementation of VMI model,its effects and prob-lems,new management model of hospital pharmacy were described after the hospital cooperated with two suppliers. The hospital is mainly in charge of the management and application of pharmaceutical staff and equipment,drug capital flow,and the selection and optimization of drug use list;focus on the training of pharmaceutical talents;improve drug quality management,pharmaceuti-cal administration,pharmaceutical care and rational drug use. Two suppliers are mainly in charge of drug logistics,and the alloca-tion of servicer,software and hardware(as automatic medicine dispensing machine);share logistic cost of supply chain. Drug in-formation flow was established by both hospital and supplier. RESULTS:After cooperation,pharmaceutical staff,related equip-ment and inventory cost(floating capital decreased by 10 million yuan each month)were decreased,and the efficiency of distribu-tion improved;the error rate of drug dispensing in outpatient pharmacy were decreased (decreasing from 0.39‰ to 0.12‰) after the establishment of automatic pharmacy. The establishment of early warning system for abnormal patients flowrate in pharmacy window shortened the time of getting medicine,and improved service level and satisfactory degree of patients (increasing from 84.91% to 93.62%). CONCLUSIONS:New management model of hospital pharmacy based on VMI model provides reference for public hospital reform and hospital-enterprise cooperation under New Medical Reform.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of Beijing' s separation of clinic from pharmacy reform.Methods Use difference-in-difference method based on dataset on patients having Urban Worker Medical Insurance from twelve state-owned hospitals.Results The reform incurs a decrease in the outpatient and inpatient expenditure on medicine per visit (30％ and 21％,respectively),a decline in hospital's pharmaceutical ratio (9 percentages and 4 percentages,respectively); reduces the outpatient and inpatient expenditure per visit (19 ％ and 8 ％,respectively),with a decrease in the out-of-pocket part (23％ and 3％,respectively),and a slight increase in the Medical Insurance's part (2％); raises hospital's turnover (11％),outpatient's visits (22％),and inpatient visits (43％).Conclusion The reform encourages physicians to prescribe more scientifically,and hence reduces patient 's expenditure on medicine and hospital's pharmaceutical ratio; leads to a decrease in patience' s expenditure per visit;raises hospital's turnover; and doesn't cause a significant increase in the expenditure from social medical insurance.
