Abstract

Objective: To summarize and analyze the application of traditional technology in preparing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations in medical institutions in Shaanxi Province after implementing the “Implementation Rules for the Record Management of Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparations in Medical Institutions in Shaanxi Province (Trial)” (“Implementation Rules”), and to provide a reference for the filing of TCM preparations. Methods: The TCM preparations recorded by medical institutions in Shaanxi Province since March 2019 were statistically summarized. The filing status was comprehensively and systematically analyzed based on the number of institutions and preparations, the ratio of commissioned to self-production, dosage form distribution, and the level of medical institutions. Results: Since implementing the Implementation Rules, a total of 479 TCM preparations have been filed in the province. Among these, 262 were commissioned for production, and 217 were self-produced, covering 17 dosage forms such as granules, pills, capsules, mixtures, and powders. A total of 86 medical institutions have filed preparations, most of which are located in Xi’an, Xianyang, and Weinan, with these three cities accounting for the largest number of filings. Conclusion: The policy on the TCM preparation filing system has been widely recognized and deeply implemented in Shaanxi Province. Third-level medical institutions are the primary contributors to preparation filings. Regional differences exist in the development of preparation filing, indicating significant potential for further growth in the province’s filing efforts.
