Investigation and Analysis on Management Status of Hospital Key Monitoring Drugs in 88 Tertiary Hospitals from Sichuan Province

OBJECTIVE To understand the distribution and management status of key monitoring drugs in tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, and to provide reference for further management and promoting rational use of drugs. METHODS Through the network platform, the data of the provincial key monitoring drugs and hospital key monitoring drugs voluntarily submited by tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The data from a total of 88 tertiary hospitals were collected. There were provincial key monitoring drugs in all 88 hospitals, of which the existing provincial key monitoring drugs in the hospital's drug supply catalogue from 32 hospitals(36.36%) were not included in hospital key monitoring drugs. The catalogue of hospital key monitoring drugs were established in 86 hospitals, including provincial key monitoring drugs(average 7.31 varieties) and other drugs(average 6.36 varieties). The top four drugs included in 88 hospitals were 25 traditional Chinese medicine injections, 23 antibacterial drugs, 22 nervous system drugs and 20 provincial key monitoring drugs. The top three drugs on variety proportion were 53.49% of provincial key monitoring drugs, 14.29% of traditional Chinese medicine injections, 9.61% of proton pump inhibitors respectively. In 2019, the sales amount of provincial key monitoring drugs decreased by 1.21% on average compared with 2018(4.84% in 2018 and 3.63% in 2019). CONCLUSION After the promulgation of the provincial key monitoring drugs catalogue, the hospital key monitoring drugs catalogue based on the clinical diagnosis and treatment practice are formulated in each hospital, but there are still some problems such as insufficient management of the provincial key monitoring drugs and small decrease in the proportion of sales amount. The hospital management of key monitoring drugs should be further strengthened to promote rational use of drugs.
