Methods The process management of the four stages of PDCA cycle was used to continuously improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The 32 292 prescriptions from January to March 2021 were set as a control group, and the 50 557 ones from April to August 2021 a management group. The numbers of two types of unreasonable prescriptions with high incidences before and after the application of PDCA cycle method, as well as the qualified rates of outpatient and inpatient prescriptions, were compared. Results The qualified rate of outpatient prescriptions increased from 97.6% (965/988) before the cycle to 97.8% (1 506/1 540) after the cycle, and the qualified rate of inpatient prescriptions from 89.1% (106/119) to 95.6% (259/271).

摘要: 目的 探讨PDCA[plan(计划)、do(执行)、check(检查)和act(处理)]循环法在中药处方点评中的应用。方法 运用PDCA循环法4个阶段的过程管理对2021年广东省妇幼保健院中药处方进行持续质量改进,以1—3月32 292张处方为对照组,以4—8月50 557张处方为管理组,比较PDCA循环法运用前后发生率较高的2类不合理处方(饮片颗粒用法混淆处方、证型未使用中医证型处方)的数量、中药门诊处方合格率和住院中药处方合格率。结果 中药门诊处方合格率由实施前的97.6%(965/988)上升到97.8%(1 506/1 540),住院处方合格率在实施PDCA循环后从89.1%(106/119)上升到95.6%(259/271),发生率较高的2类不合理处方数量明显减少。结论 在中药处方点评中运用PDCA循环法,提升了处方的质量,规范合理用药,保障患者医疗安全,同时提升科室的管理水平和服务质量。
