10. The system for monitoring the reasonability of prescribing medicines includes collecting data to assess the reasonability of prescribing medicines and evaluating the reasonability of prescribing medicines in the forms in accordance with appendix 1 to these Rules.
The priority groups are determined to conduct a monitoring of the reasonability of prescribing medicines whose use has the greatest clinical and economic effect and indicators for their evaluation.
Priority groups include:
1) expensive ones;
2) those used in large quantities;
3) antimicrobial ones;
4) those used for the treatment of patients at risk (elderly, children, pregnant women, patients in the intensive care unit);
5) those having serious adverse reactions, narrow therapeutic index;
6) those used to treat the most common diseases;
7) those being considered for inclusion in the drug formulary of a healthcare organization;
8) new medicinal products included in the drug formulary of a healthcare organization.
Indicators for evaluation of the reasonability of prescribing medicines are:
1) the conformity of the indications for which the medicinal product was used with the indications of the medicinal product in the formulary articles of the Kazakhstan national drug formulary (hereinafter - KNF), instructions for the medical use of the medicinal product, clinical protocols, international clinical guidelines;
2) compliance with clinical restrictions on the use of the medicine;
3) compliance with the dosage regimen;
4) compliance of the administration route of the drug with the condition, age of the patient, pharmaceutical characteristics of the medicinal product;
5) the cost of the medicinal product.
11. The infection control system includes the creation and functioning of a multidisciplinary team on the use of antimicrobials, the examination of intra-hospital infections at the hospital level, and monitoring the reasonability of antimicrobial prescriptions.
In order to restrain antimicrobial resistance, the proportion of their prescription in all prescriptions of medicinal products is determined.
12. The system for collecting and monitoring medical errors includes collecting, filling out the reporting forms, analyzing the identified medical errors, developing measures to eliminate and prevent the reasons that cause them in accordance with appendix 2 to these Rules.
Messages about medical errors are submitted by all participants in the treatment process (doctor, pharmacist, nurse, patient, legal representative of a minor, guardian of a legally incapable person) for consideration to the structural unit, no later than 24 hours after the incident and (or) identification of a medical error.
The state medical organizations, to collect and record the reporting forms about medical errors once a year no later than October 25 of the current year, send the completed reporting forms about medical errors to the Republican State Enterprise on the basis of the right of economic management “Republican Healthcare Development Center” (hereinafter referred to as the Center).
