Abstract:
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) preparations in medical institutions(hereinafter referred to as "hospital TCM preparations") are fixed-formula preparations developed by TCM medical institutions based on clinical needs. Hospital TCM preparations play a significant role in meeting special medication demands, inheriting TCM experience, and promoting new medicine development. With policy support, the development of hospital TCM preparations has surged in recent years, but there are issues such as product homogeneity, insufficient clinical evidence, low conversion rates, and unlabeled uses. This paper systematically analyzed the current development status and existing problems of hospital TCM preparations, combining policy background and practical cases. Then, recommendations were proposed, including refocusing on clinical needs, optimizing dispensing policies, improving conversion mechanisms, and establishing a dynamic exit mechanism, aiming to provide references for the healthy development of hospital TCM preparations.
