Abstract: Objective To promote the quality of clinical pharmaceutical care and enhance risk prevention of clinical drugs by analysis and workflow discussion of rational drug consultation in wards made by clinical pharmacists. Methods A total of 310 cases of medication consultation records in our hospital from March to September in 2009 were summa-rized and analyzed statistically based on the classification on the type of consulters and drugs consulted and the content of consultations. Results The doctor was the major consulter, and the percent of advice to accept was 97.42%. The top four types of medicines in terms of consultation frequency in descending order were as follows: anti-infective drugs, cardiovascular drugs, hormones and endocrine system regulation agent, and antineoplastic agents, the percent was 27.94%, 12.70%, 9.21% and 8.25% respectively. Recommendation of drug use was the most frequent subject(35.62 %) in classification of drug consultation, the next was adverse reaction(12.66%). Conclusion The medica-tion consultation made by clinical pharmacists in our hospital achieved remarkable efficiency, but the quality of the medication consultation service remains to be further improved.
