Analysis and Considerations for Current Status of Association Standards in Traditional Chinese Medicine
To summarize the status of association standards of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), analyze the existed problems and put forward suggestions for the further development of TCM association standards.
Methods
2
The published TCM association standards were retrieved, and the data on publishing year, publishing associations, publishing quantity, and standards' classifications were analyzed descriptively. The standard aging rate, crossover rate, and revision rate were calculated.
Results
2
Upto December 31st, 2020, a total of 1766 TCM association standards were found made by 29 associations, among which there were 912 TCM standards, 635 standards related to Chinese herbal medicine, 115 information standards, 97 standards about acupuncture, moxibustion and tuina, and 7 other standards. The top five associations that published most standards were China Association of Chinese Medicine (1467 standards), China Information Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine (110 standards), China Association Of Traditional Chinese Medicine (58 standards), China Association for Acupuncture and Moxibustion (44 standards), and China Association Of Health-Protection Food (21 standards). In 2006, only TCM association standards were released, whereas Chinese herb standards, acupuncture, moxibustion and tuina standards, TCM information standards and many other categories of standards appeared till 2020, indicating that the scope of technical content of TCM standards has been gradually expanded. The validity of standards is 3 (1, 8) years, with aging rate of 27.29% (482/1766), revision rate of 8.29% (101/1219), and crossover rate of 3.57% (63/1766).
Conclusion
2
With the TCM association standards receiving more attention, the number of standards being issued gradually increased. However, there are still problems such as cross-standards, poor access channels, untimely revisions and uneven standard quality. It is recommended to further strengthen the management of the association standards of TCM, actively evaluate the quality of the standards, strengthen the construction of information platforms, and unify the release channels.
