我院实行药品招标采购的做法和效果

为降低药品购买价，防止药品在医院流通过程中出现的不正之风，减轻病人经济负担，从1997年3月开始对药品采购进行公开招标。具体做法：（1）成立药品采购领导小组和药品采购小组；（2）制订和认真执行公开招标采购药品制度，把好“五关”；（3）规范医院常规用药范围；（4）坚持新药引是药事管理委员会审批制度。实行招标采购制度后，药品进价平均下降14.7%；单病种药品费用降低。

Ways and effects of purchasing drugs through tender as implemented in our hospital

In order to lower the purchasing prices of drugs, prevent unhealthy tendencies that might arise in the process of drug circulation in the hospital, and reduce the financial burdens of patients, our hospital started from March 1997 the practice of purchasing drugs through open tender. The measures adopted include: ①establishment of a leading group in charge of drug purchases and a drug purchasing group; ②formulation and earnest implementation of the system of purchasing drugs through open tender, making “five checks”; ③standardization of the scope of routine drugs used in the hospital; and ④adherence to the system of examination and approval by the Drug Management Committee when introduction of new drugs is being considered. Since the adoption of the system of purchasing drugs through tender, the purc hasing prices of drugs have on the average dropped 14.7% and the drug expenses for single entity diseases have been lowered.
