OBJECTIVE： To provide reference for further refinement and improvement of pharmaceutical administration in hospital accreditation standards in China. METHODS： According to Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards for Hospitals （6th edition） [called “JCI standards （6th edition）” for short] and Implementation Rules of Level 3 General Hospital Accreditation Standards in China （2011 edition） [called “Implementation Rules of Standards （2011 edition）” for short]， the similarities and differences of pharmaceutical administration were studied and compared； the advantages and disadvantages of Implementation Rules of Standards （2011 edition） were analyzed to put forward some suggestions on this basis. RESULTS： The number of the items， standards and key points of pharmaceutical administration in JCI standards （6th edition） were 8， 22， 89， respectively. The number of above indexes in Implementation Rules of Standards（2011 edition） were 11， 39， 280， respectively. The similarities mainly reflected in relevant laws， regulations， rules and regulations to be followed in pharmaceutical administration， personnel requirements， drug procurement， reserve， storage and recall， drug dispensing and preparation， special drugs management， prescription management， antibiotics management， drug use monitoring， ADR reporting， etc. The specific regulation of JCI standards （6th edition） involved drug management system documentation review， drug acquisition at night or after pharmacy closed， drug list examination， comparison of drug use list before admission and the first medical order， etc. The specific regulation of Implementation Rules of Standards（2011 edition） involved the promotion of National Essential Medicine System and the construction of clinical pharmacist system. CONCLUSIONS： In China， Implementation Rules of Standards（2011 edition） have clearly defined the National Essential Medicine System and the construction of clinical pharmacist system， and are more in line with the development requirements of medical and health services in China at the present stage； but there are also some deficiencies compared to JCI standards （6th edition）， including the revision update， the management of the patient’s own medicine， the safety management of the patient’s identity， measurability of the accreditation standards. Implementation Rules of Standards should be further refined and perfected by updating version regularly， strengthening the management of details， increasing measurability of the accreditation standards， strengthening drug management outside the department of pharmacy， enhancing drug supply management， etc.
