Fine setting and implementation outcome evaluation of pre-audit rules for outpatient obstetrics and gyne-cology prescriptions
OBJECTIVE To establish a refined prescription audit rule base for obstetrics and gynecology(OB & GYN)to improve the specialized applicability of pre-prescription review system.METHODS With a basic database of prescription pre-audit software,the audit data of OB & GYN based upon commercial rule base before fine setting were collected.And the relevant audit rules were gradually optimized for forming a fine audit rule base with the characteristics of OB & GYN.RESULTS A fea-sible solution to the problems of off-label drug use in OB & GYN and outpatient antibiotics management was preliminarily estab-lished.Before and after refinement setting,unqualified rate of system audit and pharmacist audit rate declined from 45.82% and 7.10% to 22.58% and 4.82% respectively.Active physician modification rate,pharmacist intervention rate and final task qualifi-cation rate spiked from 26.19%,41.01% and 67.63% to 63.59%,56.80% and 95.03%.CONCLUSION The establishment of refined prescription audit rule base of OB & GYN is both feasible and effective for promoting pre-prescription audit,enhancing the quality of prescription audit and boosting the efficiencies of pharmacist work and physician prescription.It lays a solid founda-tion for refined prescription auditing of other departments and also provides references for other hospital-related constructions.
