Exploration of Some Issues of Application Research on the Domestic Pharmacoeconomics

OBJECTIVE:To regulate the evaluation methods of pharmacoeconomics,and to promote systematic and scientific domestic evaluation research. METHODS:On the basis of literature study,the personal study experience of the authors,current problems of domestic pharmacoeconomics studies were discussed and the strategies for the research and application of pharmacoeconomics were proposed. RESULTSCONCLUSIONS:There are some existing problems in both the research and the application of pharmacoeconomics,such as the vagueness of study angles,the inaccuracy of cost estimation,the irrationality in the selection of control drugs and treatment methods as well as the lack of evaluation standard both in economic output and TCM pharmacoeconomics. In this matter,it is crucial to clarify study angles,standardize cost evaluation,consummate the establishment of health output index and reinforce the formation of key evaluation points in pharmacoeconomics,so as to promote it more scientific,more normative and more comparable.
