Impact of pharmacist intervention on repeated drug use
Objective:To explore the impact of pharmacist intervention on repeated drug use,and to promote rational clinical drug use.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted.1200 prescriptions/medical orders from our hospital were randomly selected and organized before pharmacist intervention(from January to March 2021)and after intervention(from January to March 2022)through a rational drug use management system.400 prescriptions/medical orders were selected monthly to analyze the situation of repeated drug use before and after intervention.Results:Compared with that before intervention,the irrational use rate of repeated drug use decreased from 3.92%to 0.50%after intervention(P<0.01).There were statistically significant differences in the rate of irrational use of the same drug,drugs with the same pharmacological effects,and drugs of the same type and mechanism of action before and after intervention(P<0.01).Compared with that before intervention,the incidence of adverse reactions after intervention decreased from 17.61%to 4.47%(P<0.01).Conclusion:Through pharmacist intervention,the proportion of repeated drug use and the incidence of adverse reactions can be reduced,thereby improving the rationality of drug use and ensuring the safety of patients'drug use.
