Practicing pharmacists, hospital pharmacists are going to merge?

Recently, the State Health Insurance Administration on "on speeding up the pace of pharmacist legislation, the establishment of a pharmacist management system" content mentioned: according to the views of all parties, in June this year to improve the "People's Republic of China Pharmacist Law (draft second draft for comments)", to further strengthen the unified management of China's practicing pharmacists and medical institutions pharmacists, the relevant system design and specific content is being further solicited and demonstrated.
, that is to say, the merger of licensed pharmacists and hospital pharmacists and unified management is not far away.
can I merge? Previously, practicing pharmacists and hospital pharmacists mainly adopted the "classification registration, classification management" approach, that is, pharmacists obtained legal qualifications, according to the different areas of practice, registered pharmacists in medical and health institutions by the health department supervision, registered in social pharmacies and pharmaceutical production, business units of pharmacists by the drug supervision department supervision.
the future, if the merger of unified management, regulators are health systems or drug regulatory systems? Industry speculation is likely that there will be uniform regulation of health care institutions.
, what impact might it have on licensed pharmacists after unified management? Good for a practicing pharmacist? We know that hospital pharmacists are slightly better than practising pharmacists in terms of social status and income.
practicing pharmacists are not yet recognized in the health system, most of the reasons being that the professional background of the group of practicing pharmacists is rather chaotic, in addition to medical and pharmacy personnel, other non-medical personnel are also mixed.
, what are the likely implications of the merger of a diverse group of practicing pharmacists and hospital pharmacists? Will incomes rise? On the one hand, we suspect that the merger of the two may raise the threshold for the examination of practicing pharmacists and strengthen management.
fact, the examination threshold for practicing pharmacists is indeed increasing year by year, and practicing pharmacists with examination needs may wish to apply earlier.
on the other hand, what are the expectations of the group of practicing pharmacists after the merger of practicing pharmacists and hospital pharmacists? In this regard, we contacted the account of the special contributor, practicing pharmacist Shi Xiaoqing said: If the practice pharmacists and hospital pharmacists merge, in essence, is a recognition of the value of pharmacists.
the corresponding social status of practicing pharmacists will be improved, will be recognized by the people.
talking about the biggest drawbacks of pharmacist team management, Shi Xiaoqing said: personally think the problem is inconsistent management departments, although the policy is good, social pharmacists can work in medical institutions, but the recognition of medical institutions is still low.
the main reasons for the management, the management mechanism is not the same.
but at present some public hospitals above the third level have begun to slowly recognize practicing pharmacists, which may be related to a series of changes such as the examination standards of practicing pharmacists.
, hospital pharmacists are generally slightly better than practicing pharmacists when it comes to income.
currently, licensed pharmacists earn slightly more than regular clerks, but performance comes mainly from drug sales, and while selling drugs can be used with expertise, most play limited.
some practicing pharmacists, although holding a practising pharmacist's certificate, but are reported to study classes, hard to learn, although will be textbook knowledge, but will not be practical use.
theory and the realization of the derailment, but also led to the practice of pharmacists social recognition is not high.
to this, Shi Xiaoqing said: some of their own practicing pharmacists are not high level.
There are some practicing pharmacists in the society who have not been studied through systematic pharmacy expertise, are not pharmaceutical majors graduated from higher education institutions, and some related professions, their knowledge is not wide.
In this way, we suspect that even if the combined management of practicing pharmacists and hospital pharmacists, it will certainly raise the entry threshold, restrict the group of pharmacists in terms of academic qualifications, and may be used to assess performance in terms of on-the-job title.
So, merger management, in the short term seems to be good for practicing pharmacists, and finally and hospital pharmacists have the same "belonging", but whether to really improve the income level of pharmacists, may also be from the academic qualifications, job title and other aspects to consider.
are your sources of income? We know that hospital pharmacists rely on hospitals to pay wages, practicing pharmacists rely on pharmacies to pay wages, if the unified management, income levels really want to improve, may need to refer to two aspects: First, the current level of hospital pharmacists income.
feedback from our back-office readers, the current hospital pharmacist income, although slightly better than the practicing pharmacist, but not very ideal.
have reader message: work in the hospital, Chinese and Western medicine practitioners have been certified, the hospital title is the deputy director of pharmacists, status, pharmacy personnel are all professional and technical personnel in the lowest position, the lowest income! Of course, to raise revenue, you have to provide services.
, will the pharmacist's medication guidance, the patient or the customer, approve? Do you have the will to buy? Second, the problem of drug service charge.
we know that to go to the hospital to see a doctor need to register, different levels of doctors registration costs are not the same.
that we change our thinking, when we use drugs, are we willing to pay a certain fee to our pharmacists, let them guide us to medication precautions? Perhaps this answer benevolent see benevolence, wise see wisdom.
At present, there are several situations in which drug instructions are generally available: first, the doctor confesses that in most cases we will ask the doctor how to use the drug after the doctor has been treated;
there is demand in order to have a market, there is a service to have a source of income, in China for many years in the context of heavy medicine, some of the services of pharmacists are often replaced by doctors, but this does not mean that it is completely secure or safe.
the National Health Insurance Administration's Response to Recommendation No. 4974 of the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress, once again referred to the "pharmacy service fee" related matters.
response to the proposal made by the representative of Hu Meiying, he wrote that scientific pharmaceutical services play an important role in promoting rational drug use, serving public health and improving the efficiency of the use of medical resources.
your proposal to implement pharmaceutical service compensation, strengthen the construction of pharmacists, and promote rational drug use is of great guiding significance to our work.
According to the reply of the State Health Insurance Administration, the next step, the State Health Insurance Administration will actively cooperate with the Health And Health Commission, the Drug Administration and other relevant departments to do a good job in the pharmaceutical management of medical institutions, overall consideration of the cost and value of pharmaceutical services, to support the development of pharmaceutical services.
is to guide local governments to promote the reform of medical service prices in an integrated manner, summarize and promote local practices that reflect the value of pharmaceutical services, and actively promote beneficial experiences.
is to cooperate with the reform of the pay system in public hospitals, to support pharmacists to enjoy reasonable remuneration, to protect the reasonable income level of pharmacists and to enhance the professional attractiveness of pharmacists.
is to improve medical services and price policies.
the pharmaceutical service activities with independent service output and patients' choice, research and perfect the project transformation, and make reasonable adjustment prices.
can say that only a clear and enforceable performance review can allow pharmacists to play more professional value.
this is not only related to the performance reform of public hospitals, but also related to the environmental problems of medical treatment, but also related to the development of a group.
hope that the pharmacist group income can be increased, expect the practicing pharmacist and hospital pharmacist to merge management earlier, the team development more scientific and orderly.
