Abstract：Chinese patent medicine is an important part of clinical treatment drugs in China.Scientific evaluation and replacement of Chinese patent medicine shortage can provide a good guarantee for clinical diagnosis and treatment and standardized supply of drugs in medical institutions.In this paper,literature review was used to systematically review the process,dimensions and methods of clinical evaluation of Chinese patent medicine,to construct the evaluation process and index system of shortage varieties reflecting the characteristics of Chinese patent medicine,and to initially form an index pool.Delphi method was used to select and optimize the evaluation indicators,and the analytic hierarchy process was used to assign weights to the indicators of each dimension and level.Finally,the evaluation process of"Urgency evaluation of clinical use of CPM shortage-Evaluation of determining equivalent substitutable varieties-Comprehensive evaluation of equivalent substitutable varieties"was formed.From the different dimensions of clinical application,effectiveness,safety,economy,innovation,suitability and accessi-bility,the evaluation system was constructed,including 15 first-level indicators,30 second-level indicators and 65 third-level indicators.It provides a scientific and operational tool for medical institutions to replace or evaluate the shortage of Chinese patent medicine,and promotes medical institutions to continuously optimize the drug use list and drug use structure,and improves the level of clinical rational use of Chinese patent medicine and the quality of pharmaceutical services.
