To summarize the information-based initiatives for collaborative medical products administration promoted by international organizations, with the aim of further clarifying internationally accepted administration rules, supporting the expansion of openness and cooperation in the pharmaceutical industry, and further advancing the empowerment of regulation through information technology.

A combination of website and literature research was used to review the policies and actions of international medical products administration organizations, including the Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) and Pharmaceutical Quality Knowledge Management (PQKM).

Two core initiatives of international collaborative information-based administration for medical products: the IDMP standard and its application scenarios, and the IDMP-based PQKM system, were identified. The implementation progress in the countries and regions such as the United States and the European Union was also summarized, as well as the pilot outcomes of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA).

The study proposes implications and recommendations for the informationization department of national medical products administration, including continuous attention to international development, coordinated management of development and data security.
