Evidence-based research of the indicator system for evaluating the application effect of TCM standards

Abstract

The traditional Chinese medicine evaluation indicator system can effectively identify and recognize deficiencies in the implementation of standards and provide a rationale for improving the technical content, enhancing the effectiveness of implementation and promoting the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture and technology globally. Evidence-based principles can be an important method to guide the development of traditional Chinese medicine indicators and to promote the application of standards. This paper introduces the development status of NICE indicators and provides reference ideas for constructing evaluation indicator for traditional Chinese medicine standards application based on evidence-based principles. The specific steps for constructing an evaluation indicator system for traditional Chinese medicine standard application include identifying indicator domains, evidence synthesis, developing indicators, constructing an indicator system, cost- effectiveness and resource impact analyses, and finalizing indicators for training and promotion. In order to promote the further development of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to strengthen the integrated construction of “guidelines-standards-indicators”, accelerate the establishment of a coordination mechanism between domestic and international organizations, and pay attention to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine and focusing on implications for practice and policy.
