The public security, drug administration, and medical insurance jointly inspect pharmacies!

Introduction: The public security police have also begun to inspect pharmacies. The Hubei Provincial Public Security Bureau, Food and Drug Administration, and Medical Insurance jointly inspected pharmacies. This is a work carried out to further promote the "Safe Jingchu Action" special action, and the public security forces are involved. , is also to strengthen the safety management of pharmacies in the jurisdiction and ensure the life, health and safety of the people.

The police began to inspect pharmacies:

Although the public security department does not specifically inspect pharmacies, its performance in drug store inspections is also quite professional. During the inspection, the police from the police station reviewed the pharmacy's drug purchase and sales ledger in detail, required the person in charge of the pharmacy to register the entire process of drug purchase and sales, and provided education and guidance to the person in charge of the pharmacy, reminding and educating the pharmacy sales staff to strictly implement the temperature checks of people entering the door. Testing and real-name registration systems, strict daily cleaning and disinfection of venues, and strict industry standard operating procedures; the sale of medical and epidemic prevention supplies through informal channels is strictly prohibited, the recycling of second-hand epidemic prevention supplies is strictly prohibited, and the sale of periodically banned drugs and health care products is strictly prohibited.

The police emphasized that the public's demand for masks, alcohol and other anti-epidemic supplies is still huge. As a pharmacy, it must adhere to professional ethics and be responsible to the whole society, and must not sell substandard products in violation of laws and regulations. At the same time, the police also inspected the fire-fighting equipment and monitoring facilities in pharmacies, reminding those in charge to increase safety awareness and pay attention to fire prevention and theft prevention.

Although the "Safe Jingchu Operation" is carried out by the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department throughout the province to ensure post-epidemic social and economic recovery, it will focus on cracking down on outstanding illegal crimes, resolving social conflicts and disputes, and potential public security risks. Major operations such as investigation and ensuring services for economic development involve many aspects. Pharmacies are only one component of the "medicine" aspect, but the public security police also demonstrated their professionalism during the inspection of pharmacies.

The Food and Drug Administration cooperates with the public security to inspect pharmacies:

Although public security inspections of pharmacies are not new, now the public security seems to be getting more and more involved in drug store inspections. The Anhui Provincial Food and Drug Administration issued the "Implementation Measures for Unannounced Drug Inspections in Anhui Province" (Draft for Comments (referred to as the "Measures")), stating that when necessary, the drug regulatory department can jointly carry out unannounced inspections in conjunction with the public security organs and other relevant departments. . In other words, in the future, unannounced inspections of pharmacies may not only include staff from the drug regulatory department, but also police from the public security agency, prosecutors from the procuratorial agency, or judges from the court.

The "Measures" also pointed out that if the unannounced inspection organized by the Provincial Food and Drug Administration finds that illegal activities need to be filed for investigation and punishment, the case can be filed for investigation and punishment directly, or the corresponding drug supervision and management department can be designated according to regulatory responsibilities to investigate and deal with it, and Follow up, supervise and investigate the situation. If any illegal conduct is discovered during unannounced inspections organized and implemented by the municipal or county drug regulatory authorities, the case shall be directly filed for investigation and punishment.

If the illegal behavior discovered during the unannounced inspection is suspected of being a crime, the drug regulatory department responsible for filing and investigating the case will be transferred to the public security agency, with a copy sent to the procuratorate at the same level. After the drug regulatory department jointly carries out unannounced inspections of pharmacies with multiple departments, once it is discovered that a pharmacy has violated the law, it will directly handle the case jointly, file a case for investigation, and provide direct "one-stop service" for prosecution and litigation.

The Food and Drug Administration will cooperate with the Medical Insurance Bureau to inspect pharmacies:

Recently, the Shaanxi Provincial Food and Drug Administration and the Medical Insurance Bureau jointly issued the "Special Inspection on Carrying out National Organizations for Centralized Procurement of Drugs and the Use of Selected Drugs" Notice of Work" (hereinafter referred to as "Notice").

According to the requirements of the notice, from the date of issuance to the end of June 2020, drug distribution companies, relevant medical institutions and drug retail companies involved in the selected drugs need to conduct self-examinations to conduct self-examinations to detect any violations that may affect drug quality or violate medical insurance. Carry out risk assessment, cause analysis, formulate rectification measures on relevant policy situations, form a self-examination and rectification report, and submit it to the Provincial Food and Drug Administration and relevant branches, the Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau and the municipal (district) medical insurance bureaus. Starting from July, for a period of three months, the Provincial Food and Drug Administration and its branches, the Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau and the municipal (district) medical insurance bureaus will jointly conduct centralized inspections of the selected drugs within their jurisdiction.

At present, joint inspections of drug retail companies by various provinces and cities are still in full swing.

In May 2020, in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice of the Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration on Carrying out Special Rectification of the "Certificate" Behavior of Practicing Pharmacists in Drug Retail Enterprises" and "Notice on Jinshan District Carrying out Special Rectification of "Cracking down on Fraud and Obtaining Medical Security Funds"" , Jinshan District Market Supervision Bureau and the District Medical Insurance Bureau conducted a special inspection of retail pharmacies within their jurisdiction. During this inspection, more than 50 people were mobilized to form 12 inspection teams, and 22 retail pharmacies were inspected, focusing on inspections of licensed pharmacists on-the-job, drug procurement and acceptance, drug storage and maintenance, drug sales management, etc. .

In fact, multi-department joint inspections of pharmacies in some regions began last year. For example, on July 15, 2019, the Fuyang City Market Supervision Department and the Medical Insurance Department launched a two-term inspection since May. Monthly unannounced inspection. Fuyang Market Supervision Bureau inspected 672 pharmacies, of which 13 were investigated and punished, 154 were ordered to make rectifications within a time limit, 3 pharmacies were revoked, and 113 companies took the initiative to reduce their business scope, and 26 pharmacies took the initiative to close down. It took the initiative to cancel 11 pharmacies and 190 practicing pharmacists. The Fuyang Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau inspected 481 designated retail pharmacies, interviewed 4 designated medical insurance pharmacies, suspended the medical insurance settlement agreements of 17 designated medical insurance pharmacies, and canceled them. Medical insurance settlement agreement of a designated medical institution. At the same time, 13 cases of clues to other problems were handed over to the market supervision department

More and more pharmacies are being investigated:

In fact, during the epidemic, pharmacies served as "frontline sentinels" in the fight against the epidemic. It has received "care" from various government departments. The Administration for Market Regulation, the Medical Insurance Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, the Urban Management Bureau, etc. all conduct frequent inspections on the quality of medicines, masks, alcohol and other anti-epidemic supplies in pharmacies, whether they are driving up prices, whether they are hoarded, whether they are operating in compliance with regulations, and whether they are operating in compliance with the epidemic prevention policies. The implementation shall be closely supervised. During the epidemic alone, there have been too many cases similar to the above.

It can be seen from the cases that a long-term mechanism for cross-department joint punishment and joint crackdown in the pharmaceutical retail industry is being established, and this kind of joint inspection, or other departments launching drug store inspections, may become a the future normal.

Unexpectedly, the police can not only handle cases, but also check the purchase and sale accounts of pharmacies, the implementation of epidemic prevention policies, illegal epidemic prevention supplies, fire-fighting equipment and monitoring facilities, which can be said to be very comprehensive. And professional.

There are more and more relevant functional departments inspecting pharmacies, which puts forward higher requirements for the operation and management of pharmacies. Under such intensive supervision and inspection, opening pharmacies may also become more and more difficult. It gets harder and harder. In order to safely respond to inspections and develop healthily, pharmacies still have to find ways to work hard on legal and compliant operations, and remember that a small gain may be a big gain.
