The management quality, safe use of high-risk drugs and the occurrence of adverse events were compared between routine management period and continuous quality improvement period. Results The incidence of irregular behaviors in the continuous quality improvement group was lower than that in the conventional management group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05); the knowledge score of the high-risk drugs in the continuous quality improvement group was higher than that in the conventional management group, the difference was statistically significant ［(95.14±3.52)versus(74.11±4.87), P<0.01); the total incidence of adverse events in the continuous quality improvement group was lower than that in the conventional management group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).
