RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate and analyze the use of TCM national essential medicines in our hospital, so as to provide reference for clinical rational use. METHODS: The variety number, consumption sum and constituent ratio, defined daily dose system(DDDs), defined daily cost(DDC)and drug use distribution in departments of TCM national essential medicines in our hospital were statistic analyzed during 2013-2015. RESULTS: The variety number of TCM national essential medicines were relatively stable in our hospital, but the consumption sum and proportion showed a downward trend year by year. The consumption sum and DDDs of essential medicines changed less during 3 years, and the drug with large sales amount were relatively fixed, which showed that the clinical selection of essential medicines were relatively centralized, and the category and DDDs continuity of essential medicines was fairly good. The concentration ratio of TCM essential drug use were lower in clinical departments, and the consumption sum ratio were lower in TCM department. CONCLUSION: We must pay more attention to the rational use of essential medicines, and formulate relevant policies and measures to encourage clinical use essential medicines preferentially.
