Objective This paper analyzed the current situation of TCM decoction piece prescriptions in the Pharmacy Department of Yanliang District People's Hospital of Xi'an City from 2022 to 2023 and put forward suggestions on the quality management of TCM decoction pieces.Methods A total of 500 prescriptions of TCM decoction pieces from the outpatient department of Yanliang District People's Hospital of Xi'an City in February 2022 and February 2023 were randomly selected.The usage,frequency,and excessive use of TCM decoction pieces were analyzed,and the causes of irrational drug prescriptions were analyzed.The adverse reactions after drug use were counted.Results After analysis,among the 500 prescriptions,369 prescriptions included 7-13 pairs of TCM decoction pieces,accounting for the highest proportion(73.80%),and the total dose of the drug was 201-400 g,accounting for the highest proportion(73.80%).Among the 500 prescriptions,the top three TCM decoction pieces were Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae(44.20%),Radix Scutellariae(43.60%),and Radix Astragali(40.00%).The top three TCM decoction pieces with excessive use were Rhizoma Coptidis(46.67%),Fructus Lycii(44.44%),and Fructus Forsythiae(32.80%).Among the 500 prescriptions,29 were found to be unreasonable prescriptions,accounting for 5.80%.The incidence of adverse reactions in 500 patients was 5.20%(26/500).Conclusion It can be seen from the study that the excessive use of heat-clearing and deficiency-tonifying drugs is more in 500 prescriptions.The irrational types of TCM decoction pieces prescriptions are mainly inappropriate dosage;monarch drugs and adjuvant drugs in prescriptions are not rationally arranged,and the diagnosis is not standardized.The pharmacy department should strengthen the examination of the rationality of drug use in the follow-up work and actively promote the construction and improvement of relevant systems and standards,so as to comprehensively improve the quality of drug service and ensure the safety of drug use
