Text Analysis of Drug Security Policies under Public Health Emergencies Based on Policy Tools
Objective To analyze the policy texts related to the drug supply security mechanism under public health emergen-cies,explore their characteristics and potential shortcomings of existing policies,and propose suggestions for policy optimization.Methods Policy documents related to drug security during public health emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic,published na-tionally since 2003,were retrieved.A three-dimensional policy analysis framework of"Policy Tools-Interactive Subjects-Poli-cy Focal Points"was constructed for quantitative analysis.Results 17 policy documents related to drug security during public health emergencies were included.In terms of policy tools,supply-based policy tools accounted for the largest proportion,while the demand-based policy tools accounted for the smallest proportion.In terms of interacting entities,the government appeared most frequently,while patients were the fewest.In terms of policy focal points dimension,there were more policies related to re-search and production,as well as stockpiling and transportation,while policies related to rational use and financing and payment were relatively fewer.Conclusion It is suggested to effectively utilize the demand-type policy tools,promote the innovation and development of pharmaceutical enterprises through market incentive mechanisms,strengthen dynamic monitoring of drug prices and market demand,improve the communication and collaboration among various interactive subjects,intensify the regulation and pub-lic education on the rational use of drugs,and build a more comprehensive drug supply chain management system.
