Policy Suggestions on Procurement of Basic Infusion Against the Background of Volume Procurement Cui Yuepeng, Wang Zuoyu, Yuan Hongmei 2020 (4):  213-222.  摘要 ( 424 )   PDF(814KB) ( 435 )   Objective To evaluate the clinical value of basic infusion packaging materials for providing suggestions on formulating basic infusion volume procurement policies. Methods Combined with market data, questionnaire surveys were used to rank different basic infusion packaging materials. Pharmacists, nurses, and experts in the field of packaging respectively assess the safety, compatibility, effectiveness, convenience, and environmental friendliness of the materials. Results and Conclusion Products with the best clinical value have a lower market share than other products with average clinical value. The best three packaging materials only account for 15% of the market share. The order of clinical value from good to bad is inner-sealed polypropylene infusion bag (BFS) > soft aseptic bag with double valves and layers > upright polypropylene infusion bag > non-PVC soft bag > plastic bottle > glass bottle. The order of market share is non-PVC soft bag > soft aseptic bag with double valves and layers > plastic bottle > vertical polypropylene infusion bag > inner-sealed polypropylene infusion bag (BFS) > glass bottle. Therefore, the clinical values of various basic infusion packaging materials are different. The following countermeasures are put forward such as separating bidding for basic infusions with different packaging materials, combining volume and price with procurement, and priority procurement of packaging materials with better clinical values. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Methods The quality control circle (QCC) was used to establish the model based on the theory of customer life cycle. According to recency-frequencymonetary (RFM) model, a general value index evaluation system was constructed for customers in different life cycles, and an example was studied. Results and Conclusion The flow model of drugstore customer management system and the method of evaluating the customer value were designed. Taking the activities of the QCC in a drugstore as an example, the deficiencies of pharmaceutical care such as medication consultation, shortage of drug supply and irrational drug display were improved. It also promoted the transformation of customers from a starting period into stable period and improved the comprehensive value of customers, indicating that QCC was effective. Drugstores should carry out the QCC activities with different themes according to the characteristics of customers in different life circles. Meanwhile, suggestions from customers on improving the environment and facilities, service quality and management mechanism of the drugstores should be effectively adopted to promote the transformation of customers from the starting period to the stable period for the realization of the highest value.

Empirical Study on Improving Customer Satisfaction of Retail Pharmacies by Using Quality Control Circle Wang Shuling, He Yalan, Zhi Yuanyuan, Li Yahui 2020 (4):  260-271.  摘要 ( 631 )   PDF(989KB) ( 621 )   Objective To study the effect of quality control circle (QCC) activities on customer satisfaction of retail pharmacies so as to improve the level of customer management. Methods After choosing the theme of improving customer satisfaction research (CSR) in pharmacies, Gantt chart, questionnaire, fishbone diagram and other tools were applied in the “endeavor circle” to find out the factors affecting the theme. Then corresponding countermeasures were made and implemented to verify them in different stages. Meanwhile, the radar map and other technologies were used to compare the changes of CSR and circle members’ growth before and after the activities. Results and Conclusion Sales clerk’s lack of drug knowledge, serious shortage of drugs, incapability of establishing a good relationship with customers and the lack of after-sales service were identified as the main factors. After implementing corresponding countermeasures, the target achievement rate was 116.12%, and the progress rate was 19.02%. Besides, customer satisfaction increased from 79.54% to 94.67% and the team growth value of circle members increased from 3.29 to 5.83, with significant tangible and intangible effects. QCC activities in retail pharmacies can not only standardize pharmaceutical service mode, but also improve the overall competence of sales clerks. The key factors and management methods for CSR improvement obtained from QCC activities will provide reference for the customer management of retail pharmacies. 相关文章 | 计量指标
