Organization and policy system of American emergency drug and its enlightenment / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

By means of literature review and comparative study, the paper studied the organization and policy system of emergency drug administration in the U.S. As found by the authors, that the U.S. has established a horizontal and vertical organizational structure system centering on the Department of Health and Human Services. This system covers a series of policy and legal regulations, such as the research and development, procurement, storage, emergency use, and clinical treatment of emergency medical products. In consideration of the experience of emergency drug administration in the U.S. and problems existing in China's current system in command and management, departmental coordination, resource allocation, and legal system construction of emergency drug, it is suggested that China should establish a core organization for emergency drug command and management, and improve relevant legal system. China also needs to focus on enhancing capabilities of local medical emergency rescue and information transmission, in order to establish a coordinated, well-organized, resource-sharing system of drug emergency administration in the country.
