| ABSTRACT Objective: To discuss the rationality and operability of different sampling methods in prescription evaluation, in order to provide the basis of sampling methods for the accurate implementation of prescription evaluation.Methods:To select all the prescriptions in outpatient and emergency departments counted 9 129 pieces from August 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014, and respectively using completely random sampling, systematic equidistant sampling, stratified sampling according to date, department and disease, then compare with general survey to make prescription sampling evaluation. Making comparisons based on irregular and unsuitable supernormal prescription from “Hospital prescription comment on standardized management (trial)” as basis and index of evaluation. Results:There was no significant difference in 3 indexes of prescription evaluation among completely random sampling, systematic equidistant sampling, random sampling by the date and general survey (P>0.05). Systematic equidistant sampling was the closest to the overall level.Conclusion:The sampling methods that taked approximately 300 samples by using systematic equidistant sampling, which was suitable for prescription evaluation in the medical institutions with similar size of our hospital. |
