Application Effect of FOCUS-PDCA in the Construction of Hospital Pharmacy Research Performance Evaluation System
Objective To optimize the hospital pharmacy research performance evaluation system.Methods The Find Organize Clarify Understand Select-Plan Do Check Act(FOCUS-PDCA)method was used to improve the quality of the pharmacy research performance evaluation system in a grade-A tertiary hospital.The FOCUS procedure was used to obtain the reasons for insufficient pharmaceutical discipline capacity building,and the PDCA cycle was used to implement the system construction and process optimization.The pharmacy research performance levels before improvement(from 2017 to 2019)and after improvement(from 2020 to 2021)were compared.Results Compared with those before improvement,the annual research project applications,research project approvals,total fundings,published academic papers,achievement(award)after improvement in the hospital increased by 32.50 applications,18.17 approvals,CNY 316 500,2.67 papers and one achievement(award),respectively;the self-rating comprehensive ability score of pharmaceutical personnel increased from(35.00±2.65)points to(46.67±1.49)points(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of FOCUS-PDCA method for improving the quality of hospital pharmacy research performance evaluation system can improve the scientificity and rationality of discipline construction from the perspective of operating mechanism,objectively evaluate the current status and shortcomings of discipline construction from the implementation process,improve the enthusiasm and creativity of personnel,and promote the coordinated development of construction of hospital pharmacy discipline and pharmaceutical care system.
