Objective To analyze the effect of quota settlement intervention formedical insurance costs on clinical rational drug use.Methods Patients with uterine leiomyoma,inguinal herniaorcholecystitis, 200 cases in each disease entity,hospitalized from Jul 2015 to Dec 2015 and had their expenses settled via management mode of non-quota settlement were collected asthe non-quota group. Meanwhile, other 600 cases of patients with matching disease and numberhospitalized from Jan 2016 to Jun 2016 and hadtheir expenses settled via mode of quota settlement were collected as the quota group.Theirhospitalization expenses, drug expenditure and drug proportion, together with usage ofessential drugs and antibacterial drugs between the quota and non-quota groups were compared andanalyzed.Results The hospitalization expenses,drug expenditure and drug proportion in patients with uterine leiomyoma or inguinal hernia in the quota group were significantly lower than those inpatients withuterine leiomyoma or inguinal herniain the non-quotagroup (P<0.05). The drug expenditure and drug proportion ofcholecystitis in the quota group were lower than those in the non-quotagroup, with significant differences between them (P<0.05). The average hospitalization days of uterine leiomyoma or cholecystitis patients in the quota group(8.96±1.03d, 6.46±1.48 d) were significantlyshorter than thoseof uterine leiomyoma or cholecystitispatients in the non-quota group(10.04±1.01 d, 8.25±1.75 d; P<0.05). The rational usage rate of essential drugs of uterine leiomyoma or cholecystitispatients in the quota group(98.00%, 94.00%)was significantly higher than that in the non-quotagroup(91.50%, 85.50%; P<0.05).The rational usage rate of antibacterial drugs of patients with inguinal hernia,uterine leiomyoma orcholecystitis in the quota group(99.50, 93.50%, 92.00%)were also significantly higher than that in the non-quotagroup(89.00%, 81.00%, 80.00%), and their differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05). The cause of without correct preference of the national essential drugs accounted for 30.56% of all causes of irrational use of essential drugs,which ranked the top.And the cause of medication without indications accounted for 38.46% of all causes of irrational use of antibacterial drugs, which held the first place.Conclusion Quota payment mode of medical insurance costscan ensure medication safety of patientsand effectivelyreduce their medical and drug expenses,so as toimprove the clinical rational use of drugs. |
