OBJECTIVE: To investigate the establishment and application of clinical pathway pharmacy evaluation system in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University(hereinafter referred to as "our hospital"). METHODS: Based on the literature research, Delphi’s method was used to draw up the rational drug evaluation system of clinical pathway from the aspects of safety, effectiveness, rationality and economy of drug use. Two questionnaires were made to 30 experts nationwide and the results were analyzed, and ultimately the clinical pathway rational drug evaluation system of our hospital was establish. According to the system, the clinical route of medication for bullous zoster in our hospital was evaluated. RESULTS: After two rounds of questionnaires, the expert’s positive coefficient was 100%, the authority coefficient was 0.805 and 0.830 respectively. The coordination coefficients of the first-level indicators were 0.537 and 0.476 respectively(P<0.01). The coordination coefficients of the second-level indicators were respectively 0.334 and 0.311(P<0.01). Finally, the drug evaluation system of clinical pathways including 4 first-level indicators and 14 second-level indicators was established. The system was used to evaluate the clinical pathway of blisters, the results showed that the dose, interval and course of treatment, route of administration, categories of antibiotics, application time of antibiotics, application rate of antibiotics, average length of stay, total treatment cost, proportion of average drug cost and essential drug cost in patients in the trial group with implementation the clinical pathway were significantly significantly lower than that of the control group without clinical pathway, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The reliability of the clinical pathway pharmacy evaluation system in our hospital is relatively high, which is basically recognized by experts and can be used as an effective tool for the evaluation of clinical pathway drug use.
