Abstract：Objective:To investigate the situation of drug repercussion in outpatient, explore and put forward suggestions to reduce the occurrence of drug repercussion in outpatient for promoting clinical rational drug use. Methods:The data about outpatient drug repercussion were collected from the Pharmacy Information System (PIS) of our hospital between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2011, and analyzed in respect of types of returned drugs, the amount of money, the department, and the frequency. The main reasons and influencing factors of drug repercussion were analyzed. Results:Of the three-year data, the occurrences of outpatient drug repercussion and the total amount of the money were on the rise. The top 10 departments in terms of the frequency and amount of money of drug repercussion and the categories of drug repercussion relatively concentrated. We should concentrate on the amount growth of drug repercussion in expensive drugs. In addition to the diagnostic medicine, no correlation between amount of money and frequency during the occurrence of outpatient drug repercussion was observed. The causes of drug repercussion included doctors' mistakes, patients' voluntarily renouncing, excess health insurance and so on. Conclusion: Drug repercussion phenomenon exists objectively in hospital, and a complete drug repercussion intervention system should be built in information system, prescription behavior, medical insurance checking and management system. We should reduce the occurrence of drug repercussion with continuous improvement by the use of PDCA theory.
