RÉSUMÉ
OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals, and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions for further improving related work. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in 22 Beijing municipal hospitals. The statistical analysis was conducted for the survey results. RESULTS A total of 22 questionnaires were distributed, with recovery effective rate of 100%. The 22 hospitals carried out inpatient medical order comment, but their proportion varied among hospitals (0.88%-98.54%); medical order comment mainly focused on antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, anesthetic drugs/class Ⅰ psychotropic drugs, auxiliary drugs and other categories; 205 pharmacists participated in the comment of inpatient medical orders, most of whom hold intermediate or higher professional titles (89.27%); 21 hospitals conducted inpatient medical order comment and feedback the results to relevant departments/responsible persons, but the intervention situation was not the same. Eighteen hospitals had carried out the review of inpatient medical orders; reviewed drug category was roughly the same as the category involved in the medical order comment; review content involved the suitability of administration routes, dosage, etc. The review was conducted mainly through the cooperation of audit software and pharmacists. CONCLUSIONS The comment and review of inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals carried out in an orderly manner, and preliminary results have been achieved; at the same time, it is necessary to further increase the ability of participating pharmacists, improve audit standards, optimize pre-audit (No.ZYLX201805) software, and promote rational drug use among hospitalized patients through doctor-pharmacist collaboration.
