Abstract: Objectives:Standardize the use of clinical antibiotics. Methods:The quality control department of a Three-A hospital in northwest China analyzed the major problems existing in its use of antibiotics, and established a management system. The study selected 300 inpatient cases in the hospital during the October and November of 2012 as the intervention group, while 300 during the July and August of the same year as the control group, and conducted control study on whether antibiotics were reasonably used. By way of case history examination and data search in the hospital's information system, indices including inpatient antibiotics usage and peri-operative prevention usage were analyzed. Results:Major problems existed before intervention, such as inappropriate antibiotics selection, inappropriate administration time, over-length of usage, and high rate of combination therapy, were significantly ameliorated. Conclusions:Establishing the management system for the clinical use of antibiotics is helpful for promoting its safe, effective, economical, and reasonable use. It is worth popularizing.
