Primarily Exploration of Medical Orders Evaluation Mode According to Disease Classification / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE： To investigate the effects of new mode of medical orders evaluation according to disease classification. METHODS： Totally 16 kinds of common diseases were selected from each department of our hospital. Each 10 electronic medical records of each disease were randomly selected from 160 patients in the hospital information system from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31， 2016. The rationality of 10 720 medical orders were evaluated retrospectively during hospitalization. Statistical analysis was made on the relevant indicators such as unsuitable usage and dosage， the proportion of auxiliary drugs and unsuitable indications in medical orders of irrational drug use， and a new mode of prescription comment was established according to the classification of diseases. 9 862 medical orders of same disease types were collected after the implementation （from Apr.-May， 2017） of new mode and intervene to evaluate the irrational rate of them so as to evaluate the effects of new mode. RESULTS： In the samples in 2016， a total of 751 medical orders of irrational drug use were evaluated， the most of them were unsuitable usage and dosage （414 items， 55.12％）， especially in the intracerebral hemorrhage diseases （69 items， 16.67％）； under this kind of disease， most of irrational drug use was excessive dosage of single dosing （31 items， 44.92％）. The top three disease types in the list of the ratio of adjuvant drug cost in total drug cost were surgery for renal tumors （39.43％）， acute cerebral infarction （non-surgery） （37.03％） and intervertebral disc herniation surgery （35.26％）. 70 medical orders of irrational drug use were unsuitable indications （9.32％）. After the application of evaluation mode according to classification of disease types and intervene， the irrational rate of medical orders decreased from 7.00％ （751/10 720） before evaluation to 2.95％ （291/9 862）after evaluation， decreasing by 57.86％. CONCLUSIONS： The application of evaluation mode according to classification of disease types can achieve good results in controlling the irrational rate of medical orders and contribute to rational drug use in clinic.
