ObjectiveTo analyze and evaluate the effect of the pharmacist-participated standardized drug management measures on improving the quality of drug management in day surgery center.MethodsDay surgery center carried out the pharmacist-participated standardized drug management since January 2019, including establishing a drug management group, strengthening the drug management specification, enhancing the training for standardized drug management, carrying out periodic inspection by pharmacist, etc. The Drug Management Quality Assessment Table was used to evaluate and compare the quality of drug management in day surgery center before standardized management (October 2018) and after standardized management (October 2019).ResultsThrough the standardized management, the quality of drug management in day surgery center was effectively improved, and the total score of drug quality management increased from 88.0 points before standardized management to 95.0 points after standardized management.ConclusionThe participation of pharmacists in the standardized drug management can effectively improve the quality of drug management in day surgery center, and ensure the safety of patients.
Objective To examine the feasibility and efficacy of narcotic drugs and the first psychotropic drugs of category handover procedures, which based on CA certification electronic signature technology in the anesthesia information management system. Methods The handover of narcotic drugs and the first class psychotropic drugs in 30 operating rooms of the Department of Anesthesiology at West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University between June and July 2023 was selected as the research object. According to the handover of narcotic drugs and the first class psychotropic drugs, the 30 operating rooms that were handed over using paper-based system in June 2023 were designated as the traditional handover group, the 30 operating rooms that were handed over using CA certification electronic signature technology in July 2023 were designated as the paperless handover group. The time spent on quality control of management of narcotic and psychoactive drugs, the time spent on the handover of narcotic and psychiatric drugs, and the users’ effort degree and satisfaction by anesthesiologists and nurses were compared between the two groups. Results The traditional handover group completed 3027 surgeries, while the paperless handover group completed 3022 surgeries. There were no statistically significant difference in the daily average number of surgeries completed in the operating rooms [(137.59±10.81) vs.(137.36±11.98) cases] and usage of narcotics drugs and the first class psychotropic drugs [(713.91 ± 7.24) vs. (716.64 ± 6.53) pills] between the TPH and paperless handover groups. The time of checking drug handover records [(35.80±3.07) vs. (3.89±0.43）min] and the cost time of drugs handover [(6.07±0.55) vs. (3.57±0.39）min] in the traditional handover group were higher than those in the paperless handover group (P<0.001). The average laborious degres [(3.17±1.17) vs. (4.34±0.70)] and the satisfaction [(3.75±1.09) vs. (4.64±0.52)] of the traditional handover group are lower than those of the paperless handover group (P<0.001). Conclusions CA certification electronic signature technology significantly enhances management efficiency, reduces non-technical workload, optimizes the healthcare experience, and enables permanent storage and real-time retrieval of electronic records. It complies with data security and ecological healthcare requirements, making it highly worthy of application.
Drug administration is an extremely important aspect in the design and conduct of randomized controlled trials, which can influence the reliability and quality of the trials’ results. This topic covers issues such as blinding, preparation, packaging, labeling, shipping, dispensing and returning of test articles. Good drug administration procedures should ensure the smooth implementation of large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials and increase their reliability and usefulness.
